Setting Sail from Fethiye Harbour

The morning sun cast a golden hue over the tranquil waters of Fethiye Harbour as I boarded the boat for the much-anticipated Fethiye Bay Tour. The gentle lapping of the waves against the hull was a soothing prelude to the day’s adventure. As a marine biologist, the allure of exploring 12 stunning islands nestled in the turquoise waters was irresistible. The crew welcomed us aboard with warm smiles, and soon we were off, leaving the bustling port behind.

Our first stop was Flat Island, where the dark blue and shallow waters beckoned for a swim. I couldn’t resist the call of the sea and dove in, the cool water a refreshing contrast to the warm sun. Floating on my back, I marveled at the serenity of the surroundings, the island’s lush greenery providing a perfect backdrop. It was a moment of pure bliss, a reminder of why I fell in love with the ocean in the first place.

Discovering Hidden Gems

As we sailed towards Dockyard Island, I found myself captivated by the smooth waters that stretched out like a lake. The island, once used as a dockyard, held a certain mystique, its history whispering through the gentle breeze. We anchored here for a while, giving us time to explore the island’s natural beauty. I wandered along the shore, my feet sinking into the soft sand, and discovered a small cave nestled in the rocks. The natural stairway leading to the cave was a curious sight, a testament to the island’s unique charm.

Lunch was served at Göcek Island, a delightful spread of freshly cooked chicken, fish, and meatballs, accompanied by an array of mezes. As I savored each bite, I couldn’t help but appreciate the care and effort put into the meal. The turquoise waters surrounding the island were a feast for the eyes, and I took a moment to soak in the view, the gentle sway of the boat adding to the calming ambiance.

A Day to Remember

Our final stop was Red Island, where the clear water over the red ground created a mesmerizing sight. I spent the last hour of the tour lounging on the sunbeds, the sun’s warmth enveloping me in a comforting embrace. The gentle breeze carried the scent of the sea, a reminder of the day’s adventures.

As we sailed back to Fethiye Harbour, I reflected on the day’s journey. The Fethiye Bay Tour had been a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration, a chance to connect with nature and experience the beauty of the Turkish coast. The captain and crew had made the day truly memorable, their passion for the sea evident in every aspect of the tour.
