What is a Blue Cruise?

Traveler enjoying the view from Simena Castle during Fethiye Kekova gulet cruise A Blue Cruise (also called Mavi Tur or Blue Voyage) is a multi day sailing experience along the southwestern coastline of Turkey. Travelling aboard a hand crafted wooden gulet, you’ll explore the most beautiful coves, ancient ruins, and hidden bays between Fethiye, Marmaris, Bodrum, and Antalya.

This unique sailing route, often referred to as the Turquoise Coast, offers a mix of natural beauty and cultural history from Lycian tombs carved into cliffs to ancient sunken cities beneath the waves.
