You will eat dinner on board the yacht, its time to get to know your personal chef and prepare for a good nights sleep, for tomorrow morning you set sail.

This route may be starting from Kemer instead of Antalya due to weather conditions. In any case, the same route will be followed.

Kemer

After breakfast, you will be notified of the cruise and boat itinerary. Then we will sail to the ancient city of Kemer. The name Kemer means "waist" because the river it runs through comes out to the sea and looks like a belt. You will have plenty of time to visit the bars, cafes and restaurants of this increasingly crowded city and the beautiful marina with a good pier.

Olympos

Olympus is an important historical site, and there is something to attract every visitor; 3 km long sandy beach. It is a protected area due to its unique vegetation and traditional wooden houses. Development is strictly prohibited here. This old town is just a short walk from the beach, so it's easy to get together in the area. The beach is also a nesting site for the endangered tortoise (Caretta caretta), so it is not accessible during nighttime activities.

Adrasan Bay
