Meet a driver at your hotel in Fethiye, Oludeniz, Hisaronu, Calis, or Ovacik, then travel to the Oludeniz harbor to board a two-deck boat for the day.
Find a comfortable place to relax on board as the crew steers away from the Blue Lagoon, sailing south along the coast towards Butterfly Valley, where the mountains join the ocean at a pristine, sandy beach.
Upon arrival at Butterfly Valley you’ll have ample time to explore on your own: swim off the beach, enjoy the sun, or try to spot some of the region’s colorful butterflies on the valley’s easy-to-follow hiking trails.
When it’s time for lunch, the crew will serve a meal of grilled chicken or fish with rice and salad, then raise the anchor for the trip to Gemiler Island, believed to be the final resting place of Saint Nicholas.
Disembark for a hike to a scenic overlook and visit hillside ruins that date back to Byzantine times. After the walk, cool off in the bay, where dolphins and sea turtles can sometimes be seen.
Following your time at Gemiler Island, begin the sail back to Oludeniz, then finish the day with return transfer to your hotel.
