|  Situated
beside an expansive harbour nestled
against a backdrop of pine-clad hills,
Marmaris is a popular resort with
a flourishing yacht marina. The town's
natural beauty and proximity to an
international airport and the spectacular
Turquoise Coast of the southern Aegean
make it a natural stopping point for
Turkish and international travellers.
In this cruise, we follow the coastline
south to Fethiye, a bustling Turkish
market town and resort located on
the site of the ancient Lycian City
of Termessos. Stopping along the way
to visit the Lycian tombs of Caunos
reed-lined waterways of Dalyan and
the islands of Fethiye Gulf, including
Tersane Adasi, the largest of the
islands, and once a shipyard for the
Ottoman navy. Shore excursions are
optional and may sometimes require
a small fee for overland transport,
guides or admission to archaeological
sites.
The star-filled skies, invigorating
sea breezes, pine-covered hills and
rays of golden sun playing among the
sparkling waters of secluded bays
are yours to luxuriate in. Relax,
savour all the timeless pleasure sun
and sea have to offer, and leave the
rest to us. You've embarked on a Blue
Cruise... |
