Route Options
Weekly charters can be shaped entirely around your interests — from slow, quiet days in calm bays to more exploratory journeys filled with ancient ruins and dramatic coastlines. Two classic routes stand out for Gulet Kamala:
Fethiye – Göcek Route
A gentle, nature-focused itinerary featuring calm turquoise waters, hidden coves, and a chain of small islands only accessible by boat. This route is known for its protected bays, pine-covered peninsulas, and the famous 12 Islands area — ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and long, lazy afternoons at anchor. Cruising distances are short, giving you more time to enjoy blue lagoons, quiet beaches, and relaxed onboard living. Perfect for families, first-time sailors, and anyone who prefers a soothing, easygoing week on the water.
How a sample week might flow
On a classic 7-night private gulet charter on the Fethiye – Göcek route, you’re basically just meandering around the Gulf of Fethiye, hopping between bays like a lazy dolphin.
Very roughly, a private 7-night Fethiye–Göcek loop could go:
Day 1: Fethiye → Turunç Pınarı / Samanlık Bay (swim + first night at anchor)
Day 2: Merdivenli Bay → Cleopatra’s Bath (Hamam Bay)
Day 3: Tersane Island → afternoon swim at Domuz or Binlik Bay
Day 4: Bedri Rahmi Bay → evening in Yassica Islands
Day 5: Göcek Marina visit → overnight at Göcek Island or nearby cove
Day 6: Sarsala Bay → Ağa Limanı overnight
Day 7: Slow cruise back towards Fethiye with a final stop (Aquarium / Kızılada) → overnight or disembark next morning
Of course on a private charter you can dial this up or down: more time around Ölüdeniz, more hidden coves in the Göcek gulf, or even a night that’s literally just “pick one perfect bay and don’t move”.
Fethiye – Kaş – Kekova Route
A more adventurous and culturally rich journey along one of Turkey’s most beautiful coastlines. Expect striking cliffs, crystal-clear bays, and stops at iconic historical sites such as the Sunken City of Kekova and Simena Castle in Kaleköy — where Lycian tombs and ancient walls rise right from the water’s edge. This route combines superb swimming spots with memorable on-shore visits, making it ideal for travelers interested in archaeology, photography, and a sense of discovery as they sail through ancient Lycian lands.
Like with the Fethiye–Göcek route, on a private charter you can compress or stretch sections: more time in Kaş & Kekova, or a slower, more bay-focused week with maybe just a short dip into the sunken-city area instead of doing all the towns.
How a sample week might flow
On a 7-night private gulet charter on the Fethiye – Kaş – Kekova route, you’re gliding along the Turquoise Coast, then ducking into Lycian-land and the famous sunken city area.
Very roughly, a 7-night Fethiye – Kaş – Kekova loop could look like this:
- Day 1: Fethiye → Samanlık / Boncuklu Bay (check-in, first swim, first night at anchor)
- Day 2: Butterfly Valley → Blue Lagoon (Ölüdeniz) → St Nicholas / Gemiler Island (sunset walk)
- Day 3: Cruise past Kalkan → swim near Kaputaş → arrive in Kaş (evening in town, overnight in/near harbour)
- Day 4: Kaş → Kekova Island → Sunken City panoramas → overnight Gökkaya or nearby bay
- Day 5: Üçağız → Kaleköy (Simena castle hike, Lycian tombs, ice cream) → another quiet Kekova cove overnight
- Day 6: Start heading back west: long, lazy cruising with swim stops en route towards Kalkan / Gemiler side
- Day 7: Last swims around Gemiler / Turunç Pınarı / Samanlık → return towards Fethiye for final night close to harbour
We design every weekly program according to your style — whether you prefer a relaxed, adventurous, mixed, luxury-dining, photography-focused, or snorkeling-heavy route. Each itinerary is completely customized to match your pace and interests.
