Fethiye Kekova Cruises - Some of the Finest Adventures in Turkey

Many people prefer to begin their cruise from Fethiye and take it all the way to the beautiful city of Olympos; however, if you are pressed for time, you should consider a shorter option that still includes several wonderful highlights: Fethiye Kekova cruises.

But first a word of caution: If you do have the time/money I strongly advise you book a cruise all the way to Olympos, as it allows more evaluate (as do most longer-term cruises). Here's a brief primer on what to expect on these two wonderful Turkish journey destinations...

In an ideal setting along the Mediterranean Sea, Fethiye is an inclusion in some cruise along the Turkish coast, an rightfully so. Whereas other Aegean hotspots such as Marmaris are better called in in the autumn, Fethiye is at its best in the summer. While here, you should not miss out on the Lycan tombs, a 2,400 year old series of mausoleums etched directly into the walls themselves.

In addition to the beautiful beaches laying along this stretch of the Aegean, you can see the world renowned Blue Lagoon. Located in the Belecegiz Bay, a short trip from Fethiye proper, I cannot recommend this enough. Word to the wise: you should arrive in Fethiye two to three days before your cruise begins, which will allow you time to enjoy the beaches, the tombs and, of course, the Blue Lagoon.

History buffs will greatly apprize the sunken city of Kekova. Once a column of civilization, Kekova was leveled by an earthquake in the second century A.D. It was constructed and won back some of its original glory before being sieged by Arab invaders. Many cruises offer day trips to this web site, finishing the rest of the day outside Gokkaya.

One of the finest providers of Turkish cruises is Olympos Yachting. You should check their website information regarding availability and current prices for Fethiye Kekova cruises.
