Blue Cruise from Fethiye to Olympos on a Turkish Gulet, Sailing Boat or Luxury Yacht
The Gulet cruise from Fethiye to Olympos is a more comfortable, slightly more luxurious way of exploring the Turkish coast than the backpacker budget cruise. Although the itinerary remains the same, the cruise has several advantages suited to people wanting to travel with families or in couples in search of a real peaceful sail along the Mediterranean. Besides sailing on a better, less crowded boat the real highlight is that you will have your own private cabin, and will be served a much wider variety of fresh, traditional Turkish food along the way. You can choose between having the cabin to yourself, or between sharing the room as a couple or with a friend.
Come explore the Turkish Mediterranean on board of one of our Gulet cruises to relax under the sun, meet new people and come back home with unforgettable memories!
