Ekincik

In Ekincik Gulf there are two islands called Semizce I and Seminca II where you can anchor with a lovely view of the pine clad hills. During the summer months the waters here can be quite busy it’s the main waterway between Fethiye and Marmaris and is close to the Dalyan River and historical Caunos.

Caunos is where the logger head turtles lay their eggs on Iztuzu beach. If you’re lucky you might see one of these magnificent creatures which are protected by the world wildlife association. About 6 miles we come to Caretta Cateretta beach and the ancient city of Caunos with its King’s tombs built into the rock face. There is also the small town of Dalyan. Further downriver there are the mud baths, don’t be put off by the smell of sulphur!

Tomb Bay

Tomb Bay is a tranquil bay with clear water, and also a great place to have a Turkish shave and massage!  The bay is surrounded by tombs (hence the name) and fresh water springs, for all you water babies it makes a fantastic place for a cooling dip.  

Fethiye

Fethiye is a pleasant and popular town overlooked by Lycian Rock Tombs and a medieval fortress, which makes for an impressive sight.  Fethiye is a shopper’s paradise, from leather goods to food from the market which is open all week.  Fethiye is an excellent place to visit, with many restaurants on offer as well as ample opportunities to sample the local nightlife.

Cold Water Bay

Cold Water Bay gets its name from the cold water springs that run into the bay.  Like the other bays it makes an ideal place for a swim with panoramic views, you can’t fail not to feel revitalised.  A short walk up the hill will have you arriving at a restaurant where you can enjoy some tasty cuisine, or carry on going to explore the abandoned village of Kaya Koyu that was once inhabited by the Greeks.

Kalkan

Kalkan is a picturesque port town that has a distinct Greek feel to it.  Narrow streets wind their way down to the harbour and above you there is Ottoman Greek timber balconies covered in bougainvillea cascading down onto the streets.  An atmospheric town at night with restaurants and bars for you to enjoy, where you can enjoy a simple seafood dinner – its really got it all.  It’s been said that “Kalkan is like the Italian Rivera minus the poseurs”, which makes it pretty perfect.

Kekova Roads

Kekova Roads is a bay that’s completely protected by the 4 mile long Kekova Island.  There are many little anchorages around the island and the bay, each with a little hidden gem of history from a submerged Lycian City to tombs protruding from the crystal clear water, it really is a must see.

Kas

Kas is a little fishing town which has been relatively unspoilt over time.  Kas is a popular haunt with scuba divers who can expect to see an array of fish, octopus, shipwrecks and sometimes even dolphins.  There are little cafes serving home cooked food and bars where you can rest your weary bottom with a beer and enjoy a peaceful night.  At some point in the year there is an annual Arts and Jazz festival in the Greek amphitheatre and ‘Kiln under the Sea’ arts collective have showcased underwater ceramics here as well.

Olu Deniz

Olu Deniz is a landlocked beauty of a bay, although yachts are prohibited from anchoring in the blue lagoon which Olu Deniz is famous for.  However if you do wish to visit the lagoon then you can anchor in the entrance and take a line ashore.  There’s also a long sandy beach which is home to a choice of restaurants where you can enjoy a night of good food. 

Wall Bay

Bedri Rahmi Bay is situated opposite the Tershane Island. This Bay is also known as Wall Bay and Likya Bay is known for its natural beauty and historical background, making it a very popular port of call for visiting boats.

This bay was named after famous Turkish artist Bedri Rahmi Eyuboğlu who visited this bay in a Gulet in 1973. Whilst he was here he drew a silhouette of a fish on a rock which is still here in all its beauty to welcome visitors. The local people call this island fish in Stone Bay. This bay is a safe harbour for boats to anchor. Behind the bay on the hills above there are pine and olive groves and oleander flowers, with the small sandy beach and turquoise coloured waters this is a stunningly beautiful place to visit.

Asi Koyu

Asi Koyu is a particularly small bay that’s popular with divers, under the water you’ll find brightly coloured sponges in an array of colours that line the caves. An abundance of sea life from groupers to rays it’s a memorable spot.  If diving doesn’t float your boat, there is a restaurant where you can partake in some Turkish food and watch the sun go down.
