Day-by-day route

Programme

  1. Day 1

    We meet at 18:00 at the Marmaris yacht marina. We check in on the yacht and buy groceries, then head to Çiftlik, where we’ll have dinner at a restaurant in a secluded bay.

  2. Day 2

    Passage Marmaris — Fethiye.
    We have breakfast and sail towards Fethiye — an ancient city that is now a modern resort. It is also home to the largest yacht marina on the Lycian coast. In Fethiye we stroll around town and have dinner at one of the colourful local restaurants. There is also a fish market here: you can always buy fresh fish or prawns and ask the waiter at a restaurant you like to cook them for you. With the fish you can order drinks, a side dish and dessert.

  3. Day 3

    Today’s plan is a visit to Gemiler Island.
    Gemiler Island is a true open-air museum. It is also called St Nicholas Island: legend has it that the saint fled here with his followers to escape Roman persecution. Here we’ll find the surviving ruins of a once Roman and later Byzantine settlement. You’ll see the remains of four Christian churches from the 5th–8th centuries and a few frescoes. On the hill there was a vaulted gallery connecting two churches, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view. In the evening we’ll climb up to the lighthouse to watch a stunning sunset, and at night we can swim and watch bioluminescent plankton, just like in tropical seas.

  4. Day 4

    After breakfast we continue on to Göcek, the sailing capital of Turkey. On the way we fish, stop for a swim and sunbathe. We’ll stroll through the streets and have dinner at one of the excellent waterfront restaurants specialising in traditional meat dishes.

  5. Days 5 and 6

    We sail to Ekincik, where we’ll stay for two days. We’ll go on an excursion to Dalyan — home to the ancient city of Kaunos and Lycian tombs — see Turtle Beach and, if you like, bathe in the mud baths. In Dalyan we have dinner at the “Pineapple” restaurant, which serves the most delicious seafood, while sea turtles swim right by the promenade. On the way we’ll buy the freshest crabs at ridiculously low prices. We’ll go ashore and head to the ruins of Kaunos to see the surviving mosaics, baths and amphitheatre. By boat we’ll get close to the Lycian tombs carved into a sheer cliff — as old as the Egyptian pyramids.

  6. Day 7

    We sail unhurriedly towards Marmaris. On the way we’ll drop anchor in a bay with clear water: we’ll snorkel or paddle on SUP boards, have lunch and sunbathe, and in the evening arrive at the Marmaris marina.

  7. Day 8

    We leave the boat by 9:00.

Price

Day 1

We meet in the marina of Olbia, home to one of Sardinia’s four airports. Check-in on the yacht from 18:00, we stock up on food and have dinner in town.

Day 2

Passage Olbia — Porto Rotondo. Porto Rotondo (the “Round Port”) is a resort founded by Venetians, and the town’s architecture is reminiscent of Venice. No wonder: the central square here is called “Little St Mark’s Square”, and we’ll be sure to take a stroll around it! Then we head to Capriccioli, where beaches of velvety sand await. Have you ever lain on velvety sand? Not yet? Then today is the day!

Day 3

Today our route runs along the north-east coast of Sardinia. We arrive in Porto Cervo — in summer this spot becomes almost the VIP capital of Italy, where celebrities from all over Europe, and beyond, come to relax and sail.

The town’s harbour is shaped like a deer’s antlers (deer in Italian is cervo, hence the name) and is famous as one of the finest yachting harbours in Europe. It hosts the renowned Rolex Swan Cup and Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup regattas and is home to the prestigious Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. We won’t linger long in town — we’ll sail along the coast with a stop for a swim. By evening we’ll reach Palau (a popular diving spot), where we’ll spend the night.

Day 4

Today’s plan is to sail to the Maddalena Islands, where we’ll explore snow-white beaches. The archipelago is a national park and nature reserve, famous for its picturesque spots. Dolphins and even whales swim here, so there’s a chance (and we really hope so) to see them!

Day 5

In the morning we set off for Corsica, to Bonifacio — the town greets travellers with massive cliffs, on the edge of which it stands. Legend has it that Odysseus also visited Bonifacio during his famous voyage. We too will feel what the hero felt as he approached Corsica’s southern coast. The town itself is fascinating for its history (the island was ruled by Pisa, Genoa and France), its narrow streets, unique architecture and delicious traditional dishes. We explore the town and stay here for the night.

Day 6

Today we’ll see Cavallo Island and enjoy its extraordinarily beautiful nature, cliffs and beaches. Then, via the islands of Razzoli and Cala Santa Maria, we make our way unhurriedly back to Sardinia.

Day 7

We return to Olbia. On the way we’ll stop for a swim, buy souvenirs and enjoy the last moments of our vivid journey.

Day 8

We hand over the yacht and head home.

A large yacht for comfortable travel — the Beneteau Oceanis 51.1. It is the new model from the famous French shipyard Beneteau. It stands out for its exceptionally large cabins, not only in the stern but also in the bow. The saloon and cabins are finished in light oak, and the deck and cockpit in teak. The yacht has 5 double cabins, 3 heads and a skipper’s cabin.
