Marmaris: Marmaris Bay resembles a calm lake and offers ideal mooring for yachts. The center of yachting on the Lycian coast and our magnificent yachting base, Marmaris sits at the head of an almost landlocked bay surrounded by high, pine-clad hills.

The shopping bazaars and restaurants form the backbone of this traditional Turkish seaside town, while yachts of all shapes and sizes adorn the marina, said to be the best in the eastern Mediterranean. The calm waters of Marmaris Bay are an ideal start or end to your cruising holiday, from our base in the harbor. Ancient Marmaris, Physkos, was an important stage on the Anatolia-Rhodes-Egypt trade route. In the l6th century, Süleyman the Magnificent had a citadel built on a hill just behind the harbor; today, its remains house the Marmaris Museum.

Ekincik: A delightful yacht-mooring, you can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of this area and the friendly hospitality of its people. The inlet of Ekincik is a tranquil paradise of lush green forests where you can lose all sense of time. Among the most beautiful spots along the coast this is a favorite stop for seafarers.

Dalyan / Caunos: Delikli Island lays right off the coast, south-east of Ekincik. Yachtsmen enjoy a change of pace when they anchor at the island; the riverboats here will take you from your sailboat and ride you to Caunus into the Dalyan Delta. The Delta, with a long, golden, sandy beach at its mouth, is a nature-conservation area and a refuge for sea-turtles (caretta caretta) and blue crabs. At a bend of the river, high on the cliff face above the fascinating ancient harbor-city of Caunos, magnificent tombs were carved into the rock.

Gulf of Fethiye: When you turn around Cape Kurtoğlu you enter into the Gulf of Fethiye, which is one of the most beautiful gulfs in the world. The Gulf of Fethiye is surrounded by lower slopes of the Taurus Mountains, pine-clad to the crystal-clear water’s edge. It is an area of flat-water, so sailing there is easy for those not accustomed to open sea. The gulf is rimmed with innumerable coves and anchorages.

The secrets of the ancient gods of mythology still lie hidden in the secluded coves and bays around the Gulf of Fethiye. This is truly paradise for those who want to sail through history.

Ağa Limanı & Lydea: When we enter the Fethiye Gulf our next stop will be Ağa Limanı. From here with a 30-minute hike takes you to ancient Lydea. Off-the-beaten path and rarely visited, Lydea features sarcophagi, temple walls, cisterns, Corinthian columns and inscribed tablets from the Roman and Byzantine periods.

Cleopatra’s Bay: Located two miles from Deep Bay. It is another exquisite setting with thick pine woods right down to the water's edge. Half submerged monastery ruins attract the curious. The place is also called Ruin Bay. Legendary Cleopatra is said to come here twice, once with Julius Caesar and once with Marc Anthony. He, Anthony, was en route to Actium. She, Cleopatra, came for the scenery.

Tersane Island: The largest island in the Gulf of Fethiye is the Island of Tersane (Dockyard). A deep channel, 100 wide, provides entry to the inlet of Tersane. Tersane Island which was formerly called Telandria was inhabited in the past, but nowadays you can see only the remains of the ruined houses of the island.

Bedri Rahmi Cove: One of the most important inlets of the gulf is the inlet of Bedri Rahmi. Bedri Rahmi Eyüpoğlu who was the one of the first blue voyagers, painted a fish on a rock behind a fountain here, in the year 1973. Thereafter the inlet has been called by his name. You can see the painted fish right behind the fountain and behind it, there is a Lycian rock tomb hidden at the back of the trees.

There are many Lycian rock tombs besides this one in the surroundings, shaped like pigeon nets on a great rock tomb with an ornamented door and a triple tomb further on.

Yassıca Isles: The islands are called “Yassıca Adaları” and arouse interest because of their mysterious appearance. Islands are traditionally favored by yachts.

Göcek: Göcek which has recently become the meeting point of yachtsmen and lovers of the sea has attained a justified fame with its natural position. In addition to being the place from the standpoint of wind, sea, and air temperature, it is only 22 km from the international Dalaman airport. Colorful yachts ranging from the latest models to small vessels meet at the coves. The Club Marina at Göcek is set in a beautiful pine forest, and it is one of the Mediterranean's best sailing spots. Dotted with islands and indented with many coves, its land and seascapes are irresistible.
