BIKE & BOAT Lycian Coast · Turkey Route from Bodrum / to Fethiye Duration 8 days / 7 nights Distance approx.220 km Level 3 Breath-taking nature and ancient sites Explore the Lycian coast between Bodrum and Fethiye by boat and bike! Spend a week on our charming floating hotel that is sure to fulfil even the highest expectations.

We discover the ancient Rock Tombs of Dalyan, carved into the cliffs by coastal Lycians, and the breath-taking scenery of the Saklikent Canyon. We spend our nights in secluded bays and either being rocked to sleep by the gentle murmur of the waves, or heading out to enjoy the lively harbour towns and villages with their plentiful cafes and bars.

Once we arrive, we hop on our bikes for our first cycling tour, along the Datça peninsula. The first ascent takes us to a height of 450m before we head back down to the sea. On a clear day it is possible to see the Greek islands Nissyros, Tilos and Rhodes. A scenic road leads first along the coast and then through more rural areas, before taking us to Knidos.

A secluded mountain road takes us to a mountain village located at 300m above sea level, home to a 1,500-year-old plane tree and a lively bazar that is well worth a visit. A short walk around the plane tree is said to ensure a long and lucky life. After lunch we continue to the bay of Çiftlik by bike where there is enough time to enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea. 4th Day Çiftlik – Ekincik – Kaunos(aprx. 31 km/19 mi) During breakfast we cross over to the little harbour of Ekincik, the starting point of today’s bike ride. After crossing the pass with its spectacular views, we reach the shore of Lake Köycegiz, where we have the opportunity to enjoy a healing mud bath close to Sultaniye. After cycling through another small pass, we reach the mouth of the Dalyan River. From here we hop on a small boat for a 30 minute cruise past the impressive Lycian rock-cut tombs overlooking the Dalyan delta to our boat which waits on anchor near a small rocky island. 5th Day Kaunos – Dalaman – Sarsala Bay (aprx. 42 km/26 mi) After breakfast the boat brings us close to the ancient city of Kaunos, the first destination of today’s bike tour. Once directly on the seaside and an important port town, the harbour now lies 8km from the coast. Only the ruins are silent witnesses of the former wealth of the city. After visiting the site, we continue on by bike. We cross the fertile Dalaman plains with their cotton fields and orchards and take a well-deserved break in a tea house in Dalaman. After crossing a small pass, we reach the beautiful bay of Sarsala, where we can already spot the ship from afar. 6th Day Gemiler Bay – Fethiye(aprx. 33 km/21 mi) After breakfast the boat sails past numerous small islands before reaching Gemiler. Also known as the island of St.
Nicolas, a church was built here for the saint in the 5th century. Back on the mainland our bike ride takes us through a pine forest to the 1922 abandoned Greek city of Kayaköy, once home to 6,500 people. On the way we pass the lagoon of Oludeniz, a famous golden sand beach similar to the “Golden Horn” on Brac in Croatia. After a short transfer to Ovacik, we travel the last kilometres by bike. We can spend the evening walking through the lively city. The old town with its narrow, winding alleys and the typical corner houses surrounds the Eski Cami mosque. 7th DayFethiye – Saklikent Canyon – Fethiye(aprx. 27 km/17 mi) A bus transfers (60 min) takes us to Cavdir, the starting point of today’s cycling tour. From here we bike to the Saklikent Canyon, where we can enjoy lunch on the riverbank. In Turkish “Saklikent” means “Hidden City”. The canyon is spectacular and can easily be explored on foot. Afterwards we continue our cycling tour to Kadiköy. From here a short transfer takes us to the ancient town of Tlos which was once one of the largest towns in Lycia. After our visit a transfer takes us to Fethiye. 8th Day Fethiye (Disembakation) After breakfast check-out.

Port of embarkation Bodrum
This tour begins and ends in Bodrum harbour, Turkey, easily reached by airplane via
Bodrum Airport. In order to avoid any travel complications whilst crossing the
borders, we request that all guests obtain the appropriate travel documentation and
visas before arrival on site. Check in begins at 2 pm. The Boat will leave from Bodrum
at 4 pm.
Bodrum harbour is very large. Therefore, we recommend booking a transfer with us
to save yourself the time looking for the Islandhopping-boat.
How to find our boats in the harbour
Should you wish to make your own way to the boat, you will find our boats Love Boat
and Elara 1 in the Halikarnas Marina (when looking out to sea, on the left-hand side
of the fortress of St. Peter). The Osman Kurt will be located in the big yacht harbour
(when looking out to sea, on the right-hand side of the fortress of St. Peter). Most
commonly she will be moored next to the Datca Ferry dock, however in the height of
summer it is possible that she will be moored directly below the fortress of St. Peter
in the vicinity of the customs office. In order to locate the boat as quickly as possible,
please contact our regional manager. You will find his mobile phone number in your
travel documents.
Arrival by plane
A flight is the fastest, easiest, and most economical way to get to Turkey.
The closest airport is Bodrum (BJV). Most flights go to Izmir airport (ADB), which is
situated about three hours from Bodrum. During the high season it is also possible
to fly directly to Bodrum Airport.

You can prebook an exclusive airport transfer from Bodrum Airport to Bodrum
Harbour for 15 euro/person/way (day of embarkation/disembarkation only).
