Day 5
An early start this morning for an open sea cruise to Dalyan.It is worth being on deck for this early morning cruise and breakfast is served on route or upon arrival,depending on conditions. At Ekincik Bay, a river boat pulls in beside the gulet and is the transport for today's Dalyan tour. Motoring through the reeds up river towards the town of Dalyan, look out for the many species of bird life,tortoises and turtles. The local beach is known as Turtle Beach and is a protected nesting ground for Loggerhead Turtles.Once reaching Dalyan, the Lycian rock tombs in the cliffs overlooking the river provide a stunning photo oppurtunity.Probably the best examples of such tombs. The tour is guided so feel free to ask questions.Have a laugh at the therapeutic mudbaths and lunch in a riverside restaurant before the return ' River Queen' style journey, back to the waiting gulet. Dinner and overniight.

Day 6
Another early start leads back past the 12 islands region and round to Karacaoren Bay for breakfast in the onece pirate's shelter. Also called aquarium bay, a good sport for some more snorkelling or maybe a test of fishing skills with the locally preferred hand lines.Crossing the wide bay, Butterfly Valley waits to impress.High valley walls,a green valley floor and the white pebbled bench make a truly postcard scene. Several varieties of butterflies make this valley their home.Depending on conditons, lunch is served either here or at the next stop - the famous Oludeniz beach. Watch paragliders descend to the beach or microlights fly overhead. A chance to go ashore to stretch the legs. This evening's anchoring place is St Nicholas Island, the once home of Santa Claus himself. Dinner on board.

Day 7
The last full day on board. After breakfast, go ashore to explore the island's remains of a once monastry. The climb is rewarded by great views from the top. On return, cool off with a swim - the underwater ruins make interesting snorkelling in the deep, clear, blue. Lunch is served before raising anchor and cruising around the point, back towards Fethiye. A last swim stop at Turunc Bay and a late afternoon cruise back to the port of Fethiye concludes a week of unmatchable relaxation. Last night spent on board the gulet in port, dinner on shore.
