Day 1: Fethiye
Boarding starts at 3.30 pm at Fethiye Marina. While you settle in,
dinner will be served on the yacht and we will stay overnight on

the ancient times, was the most important city situated on Lykia's
western border with Caria. It is believed that the city's name came
from Apollos son Telmessos. The city joined the Ottoman in 1924.
The name changed many times over the years and was eventually named
Fethiye in 1914 after the first Turkish AirForce Officer who was
called Fethi Bey, crashed his plane and died here while on duty. In
the south of the town you will see many famous tombs and graves
