Kapı Creek (15nm) is a lovely, well-sheltered bay in a fabulous location, witha restaurant that serves delicious food. Newly renovated. It is one of the many beautiful bays in the Fethiye Gulf, which can only be reached from the sea. Ancient ruins are about one hour walking away. Pay cash,although sometimes a card machine is available. Barber, toilets and shower ashore.

Monday: 22 Fathom Cove (2nm) for a rustic night with fantastic hosts; a brilliant night although watch out for the slightly rickety jetty! Pay cash.***

Tuesday: Cold Water Bay (17nm) This is an absolutely stunning location with a friendly, family run restaurant, serving great food. The name is due to a cool spring flowing into the sea. Pay cash.***

Wednesday: Tomb Bay, Olive Restaurant (20nm). A resort style restaurant,which has had recent investment put in. Try the barber who is on site! Pay cash, although a card machine is sometimes available. Toilets,with showers available at times (water is limited). Electric and water on the dock for a small charge, and limited to evening time.

Thursday: Wall Bay (2nm). This is another new investment with a wonderful kitchen. Riviera-style facility. This is a beautiful setting where you can visit Lycian tombs, a Byzantine hamam (Turkish bath) or an old windmill, about one hour walking away. Alternatively enjoy snorkelling in the clear waters. Showers and toilets on shore,with water available on the dock sometimes.

Friday: Return to Fethiye Ece Marina (15nm). In the evening enjoy dinner in a nice restaurant in the bazaar.

Should clients have booked a two-week flotilla holiday they will be given advice on places to visit during their free days sailing, until the flotilla is reunited at an appointed destination.

NB It is best to bring cash with you, as there are no cash machines en-route. A rough guide per couple is 600-650TL per evening meal (two meals including meze starter, a bottle of wine, water and a few beers). The more you drink the higher the bill. Eg Leona wine 200-250TL per bottle, beer 45-50TL, main meal 200-250TL per person.

Electric and water available once each week. Showers limited. Phones can be charged in the restaurants.

The weather can be very hot so it is a good idea to bring a rehydration formula (eg Berocca) with you, as the pharmacy closest to the marina may not be open.
