We recommend that travellers book their transfers directly with us because occasionally the start/finish ports can change at the last minute due to weather conditions. If transfers are booked with us it is easy for us to ensure travellers are delivered to the correct port.
Day 1: Arrive in Marmaris. Dinner onboard with opportunity to go to a Turkish Bath.
Day 2 A day of relaxation and cruising as you take time to download from your busy lives. A highlight is sleeping overnight in a secluded bay, choose to sleep in your cabin or up on deck watching the stars, the moonrise and awaken to the sunrise.
Day 3 We exchange the beauty of the mountains for a softer environment of cruising amongst reedbeds, passing ancient tombs before arriving at thermal pools and mudbaths where Romans once bathed. A picnic lunch on the riverboat leaves us with time to visit the small town of Dalyan, do some gift shopping and try Turkish icecream.
Day 4 An early morning starts sees us watching the sunrise from behind the mountains on the east before arriving in a turquoise cove where Roman ships once moored. Plenty of time to snorkel with the sun shining through the rocks before we move to the ruined Cleopatra’s Bath.
Day 5 With a couple of yoga mats onboard, maybe this is your morning to practice some self-guided yoga, stretch out as the sun makes an appearance in the peace of the early morning. Hear the birds start their soft chatter, maybe the bleating of the wild goats on their way to the natural stream. Later in the day, you can choose to have a massage in a shack at the water’s edge overlooking Lycian tombs carved high above you.
Day 6 By now, you will be thoroughly relaxed and have your batteries recharged. You will have got to know each other, shared stories, swapped books and decided you absolutely love Turkish food. Maybe you’ve been in the kayak or if speed is for you, maybe you’ve been out together on the ringos or even parasailed.
Day 7 A leisurely day to reflect on all you’ve seen, all you’ve experienced and the new friendships you’ve made before arriving into Fethiye port late afternoon.
Day 8 Say your goodbyes to the crew and your new friends in Fethiye.
*Cruise may operate in reverse. Direction of cruise will be confirmed no sooner than four weeks before departure and is subject to change at short notice (this is a rare occurence but adverse weather conditions can leave us with no choice).
Having undergone a refit in 2024, East Meets West is a traditionally built, handcrafted wooden yacht; she has three double and four twin cabins, all ensuite. She has sails although operates under motor for most of the trip to ensure we can keep to our schedule.
Each cabin has a private en-suite bathroom with home style toilet, shower cubicle and hairdryer. Cabins have a small wardrobe, underbed storage, window and bedside light. Electricity is available in cabins for charging mobile phones and cameras every evening. Cabins are smaller than a hotel room but larger than you’d find on a typical sailing yacht. A bath towel, hand towel and beach towel are provided.
The bar, galley and salon are located in the wheelhouse where there are stunning 360° views. 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. There’s plenty of time to swim and snorkel too.
Meals are taken on the aft deck where you’ll enjoy a different view with every meal.
