Tour Summary :
The tour begins in Marmaris, where we will board our Gulet yacht and meet our crew and fellow passengers who will join us on this relaxing cruise to discover the best of the Turkey's natural coastline. We will spend several days sailing east towards Dalyan, weighing anchor at Adali and Manastir Bay before arriving in Fethiye, a beautiful small town with history literally carved into its streets.
