Forget what you thought about a simple boat trip—Fethiye 12 Islands Boat Tour is a must-do day out that feels like diving headfirst into a postcard.

Seriously, this full-day cruise, which leaves right from Fethiye Harbour, is the quintessential Mediterranean experience. You'll spend the day slicing through impossibly turquoise waters as you hop between the stunning islands and coves of the Gulf of Fethiye. Despite the name, you won't stop at all 12, but you will anchor at the absolute best spots for some serious R&R.

Think: diving off the side of the boat into crystalline bays like those around Flat Island, swimming to shore at Red Island, or simply finding a perfect patch of sun on the spacious deck of a traditional wooden gulet.

Fueling your adventure is a mouth-watering BBQ lunch cooked fresh right on board—usually grilled chicken or fish with all the fixings. It's the perfect reward after an hour of snorkeling or simply floating blissfully in the warm sea.
