Fethiye is the largest charter port on the Turkish coast: Ece Marina and the harbour quays at the head of the Gulf of Fethiye hold the biggest gulet and yacht fleet in the country, forty-five minutes from Dalaman airport. The cruising ground is the classic blue cruise — the twelve islands and pine-fringed bays of the gulf, Göcek’s creeks, Ölüdeniz and Gemiler island, and the Lycian coast east to Kalkan and Kaş — with restaurant pontoons that cost nothing if you eat ashore.
The season runs April to October, longer than most of the Mediterranean; May, June and September are the best months, and July and August are hot but the bays always have room.

Weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: handover in the late afternoon and return to the base the evening before check-out at 9:00. Gulet cruises and day charters have their own times, shown on each boat’s page.
Can we sail to the Greek islands from Turkey?
Only with the charter company’s agreement and customs clearance both ways, which costs a day and paperwork; most weeks stay on the Turkish coast, which has the bays and the restaurant pontoons anyway.
