Gocek to the south
Heading south? Two-week charters will take in the sights of Coldwater Bay and Gemiler Island, as well as the highlights of Kalkan, Kas and Kekova Roads.
Further south is Finike Marina, an ideal destination for a one-way charter.
Gemiler Island
Top of pageThe Island of Gemiler is famous for its extensive Byzantine ruins. Take the walkway up to the top of the hill to enjoy amazing views. We advise you anchor in the channel, with lines ashore.
Coldwater Bay
Top of pageA fantastic place for a spot of swimming, the name of the bay comes from cold freshwater springs that enter the sea from the bottom of the bay.
Take a hike up the path to enjoy the views from the excellent restaurant, and continue over the hills to the deserted Greek village of Kayakoy.
This anchorage is very busy at the height of the season so be sure to get there early. Ali, the friendly restaurant owner, will probably guide you to your anchor spot.
Olu Deni
Top of pageOli Deniz boasts a beautiful lagoon, which is now a prohibited area. Yachts may anchor just outside, but it is not recommended as an overnight spot. The beach is big and beautiful but very crowded.
Patara
Top of pageShould be visited by road from Kalkan or Fethiye.
Kalkan
Top of pageA bustling little tourist town with a small harbour, Kalkan offers good eating and shopping. This is an excellent overnight spot but arrive early as there is limited space in the harbour.
Kas
Top of pageHighly recommended by the staff at Seaways Sailing, Kas is a small town with a fantastic atmosphere and excellent restaurants.
The harbour is small and gets very busy in the summer, but nearby Bayindir Limani offers additional anchorage.
A short walk from the harbour is a Greek amphitheatre, especially beautiful at sunset (so don’t forget to take a bottle of wine with you!).
There are several anchorages and interesting ancient sites to explore in this region.
Uçağız
Top of pageA sheltered lagoon-like bay with good holding, there is a small hamlet at Uçağız with a choice of restaurants and a well-stocked supermarket.
Kaleköy
Top of pageA picturesque village with a castle on the hilltop, anchor in Ucagiz and visit Kaleköy by dinghy, as anchorage here is very rocky. The famous ruins of Ancient Simena (Sunken City) are off the coast of Kekova where underwater walls can be clearly seen close to the shore - snorkelling is not allowed but take a glass bottom boat from the village.
Gökkaya
Top of pageA sheltered bay dotted with small islands, channels and several anchorages. Gökkaya appears quiet, but as night falls it can get quite lively. This is a nice spot for an overnight stop and swimming.
Finike
Top of pageA dusty town with a safe harbour, shops and restaurants, Finike is a good place to start or end a one-way charter.
