Venture into the most tranquil waters of the Turkish Riviera on a 4-day, 3-night sailing escape connecting vibrant Fethiye with the protected island maze of Göcek.

Looking for a quick escape into nature without spending endless hours on the open sea? A 4 day Fethiye to Gocek mini blue cruise is easily one of the most relaxing ways to experience the Turkish Riviera. Instead of long, bumpy sea passages, this 3 night island hopping trip takes you straight into the calm, pine-fringed bays of the Gulf of Fethiye, where the water is as still as a mirror and surrounded by thick green forests.
This isn’t the kind of trip where you’re rushed from one spot to another. The whole idea is to take things slow think early morning swims in crystal-clear coves, leisurely home-cooked lunches on deck, and plenty of time for exploring historical spots along the way. You’ll sail past the massive cliffs of Butterfly Valley, watch the sunset from the ancient ruins on Gemiler Island, and weave through the famous Göcek islets. You can swim right over Roman ruins at Cleopatra’s Bath, drop anchor in peaceful Sarsala Bay, and check out the famous rock art at Bedri Rahmi Bay before heading back to shore.
Onboard with Goturkeysail, the vibe is super laid-back and friendly. We keep our groups small never more than 16 guests so there’s always plenty of space to stretch out on the sun cushions without feeling crowded.

It's my second year doing a sailing cruise with Gulet Cruises and I absolutely love it!
The crew is always very good, the food is to die for, the cabins are very clean and large enough if you have to share with someone. There are different spaces where you can relax or sunbathe on the boat, the stops in the different bays are always beautiful and you can go on the land for short excursions in cute villages or climb a hill for a sunset!
Already looking forward to my 3rd trip next year!
