MARMARIS
GOCEK/FETHIYE
Enjoy sailing through the Gulf
of Fethiye, the most popular
area for yachting holidays in
Turkey, beginning from either
the charming and excellently
provisioned village of Gocek
or the vibrant Fethiye.
Dramatic cliff edges, wooded hillsides and archaeological
ruins characterise the spectacular and ever-changing
shoreline, and mountainous pine-forested bays with
stunningly crystal clear water are aplenty.
Protected by the Turkish coast, this area is sufficiently
sheltered to provide ideal conditions for both novice and
experienced sailors. Choose between a bareboat, skippered
or crewed yacht charter for the ultimate sailing holiday.

Straddling both the Carian
and the Turquoise coasts,
a Marmaris yacht charter
gives you the choice of
either of these two idyllic
sailing grounds. Or if
you happen to be on a
two-week yacht charter
holiday, why not do both!
Afternoon breezes average force 3-5 but can reach 6-7. The
Meltemi dies down in September while the weather remains
rain-free and warm, making this the ideal destination for a
late season sailing holiday.
• Fly to: Dalaman Airport – 90 minute transfer
• Lively streets of Marmaris and open air clubs
• Undeveloped coast surrounded by pine-forested
mountains
• Choice of either the Carian or the Turquoise Coast
