Kas, southern Turkey
The harbour at Kas
Day 1: Our gulet is about 30 minutes from Dalaman airport at Göcek, a pretty harbour beneath mountains at the head of the Bay of Fethiye. Welcome dinner aboard.

Day 2: A chance to unwind in the Bay of Fethiye.

Day 3: We set sail east to explore the ghost town of Kaya, abandoned by the Greeks in 1923. Walk back to the gulet near Gemiler island, an area perfect for swimming.

Day 4: We drive inland to the impressive ancient ruins of Sidyma, a 2,500 year old Lycian city that surrounds a modern farming village. Then walk down to a tiny beach to meet the Almira.

Day 5: Up the Xanthus valley to Pinara, where a mighty cliff riddled with tombs stands guard over one of the most striking and spectacularly situated archaeological sites.

Day 6: East to investigate Apollonia, where a Byzantine fortress and church surround an ancient Greek theatre. Then a walk through a wild moonscape back to the sea.

Day 7: We explore the Byzantine remains on Kekova Island then stroll through ancient burial grounds to the Ottoman castle at Kale. One of the most romantic stops of the holiday.

Day 8: We visit Sura, site of a famous fish oracle dedicated to Apollo, then trek along a beautiful stretch of coast to ancient Istlada and our waiting boat.

On top of the world, at Kale
Day 9: Inland to one of the most remarkable Lycian towns, mountain-top Kyaenai. We overnight in Kas, a beautiful whitewashed village, surrounding an ancient harbour.

Day 10: The longest hike of the tour, but well worth the effort. Up to the lost city of Phellos and along a high ridge. Stunning views abound.

Day 11: A wondrous walk retracing the route of the Roman aqueduct to Patara. A sunset dip offers a refreshing finale. Overnight in the pretty harbour at Kalkan.

Day 12: We hike from Kabak up to Farayla for breathtaking views down into butterfly valley.

Day 13: A glorious final trek across the shoulder of Father Mountain to Ovacık. Breathtaking views all day long.

Day 14: A day of total leisure, sailing and swimming. We moor in Fethiye for a final chance to shop.

Day 15: Transfer back to Dalaman airport.
