This Lycian coast has been cruised by ancient mariners since time began and there’s plenty of evidence of it all along this interesting coastline. You will have plenty of time to swim every day in the waters of the clear blue Mediterranean, surrounded by pine clad mountains.
It’s the perfect way to get away from crowded holiday resorts, be in the fresh open air – as a special treat you might even decide to sleep outside on deck

Every cabin has a private en-suite bathroom with toilet, hand held shower and hot water in the evenings. One bath towel and one hand towel are provided, please bring your own beach towel.
With plenty of sunbeds on the fore and aft decks choose how to relax; sunbathing, reading, chatting or perhaps you’ll even sleep here under the stars. Meals are usually taken on the aft deck where you have a different view for almost every meal.
