Travel Map

Day 1: Fethiye (Turkey) – Samanlik Bay

Your new reality = swimming in bluer-than-blue waters. Strolling around stunning ancient towns. Snacking on yummy AF Turkish treats (hello, baklava). Grab your sunnies and swimmers, and meet us in Fethiye. You’ll have a chance to say hi to your crewmates – with...

Day 2: Samanlik Bay – Aga Limani Bay

Early morning swim or lazy sleep in? It’s totally up to you. After stuffing your face with brekkie, we’ll set sail for Aga Limani Bay. Its duo of beaches are S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G – and you’ve got alllll day to enjoy them. Practice your belly flops (soz, we mean worl...

Day 3: Aga Limani Bay – Ekincik Bay

Rise and shine, sailors! Today, we’ll be up with the sun (okay, not quite) to cruise across to Ekincik Bay –our next overnight stop. It’s nestled at the top of the Dalyan Delta: an area famed for its golden beaches, rock-carved tombs and sulfur-rich mud baths. ...

Day 4: Ekcnik Bay – Marmaris

Today, we’ll be soaking up more BREATHtaking riviera views as we journey west to Marmaris. First: a scenic AF swim stop at the aptly-named Paradise Island. Dry off in the sun on deck and tuck into another yummy included lunch. Then, onwards to Marmaris. Its mar...

Day 5: Marmaris – Monastery Bay

Shake off last night’s antics with a few more I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E swim stops around the Fethiye Gulf. With its strings of paradise islands, this place is pretty spesh. Next, we’ll drop anchor in a bay that was once used as a shipyard by the Lycians. Once you’ve...

Day 6: Monastery Bay – Gocek Bays

What’s that? You want another day of refreshing swims and snoozing in the sunshine? You got it. Grab a spot at the bow (front) of the boat and savour your last glimpse of Monastery Bay. Our next destination? The gorgeous Gocek Bays. This handful of STUNNING cov...

Day 7: Gocek Bays – Fethiye

Land ahoy! Today’s the final day of our adventure (*sobs*), so we’ll be setting a course for Fethiye. En route, we’ll enjoy a few final swims stops and some more droolworthy food up on deck. When we reach the marina, we’ve got a walking tour to get to. Hit alll...

Day 8: Fethiye

After brekkie, it’s time to abandon ship. Hug your fellow scallywags goodbye and don’t forget to swap those Insta handles for next year’s reunion trip. Not ready for the adventure to end? Istanbul’s just a short hop north and the starting point of our Delve Deep: Turkey trip (FYI a few dates match up perfectly).
