ABOUT THE OLYMPOS TO FETHIYE CABIN CRUISES
Individuals or small groups of any nationality and age are most welcome to join. Yachting is usually thought of as an expensive luxury, but our cabin cruise rates and prices are based on per person, which makes it all the more affordable.
Departures
April to end of October - we have guaranteed departures almost everyday.
Need to book ahead
You do need to book ahead. Guide books recommend that you should go to the harbour and book, but this has changed. In the last few years our cruises have become so popular that not many people visiting Turkey leave without experiencing the Olympos - Fethiye Cruise.
*Please note that in peak season we may be fully booked 2.5 - 3 weeks ahead of departure times so booking ahead is essential.
Sleeping / Accommodation
Depending on the boat, cabins have 1 big double bed, 2 beds or 3 beds, all cabins have a private bathroom and hot shower. You can share your cabin with your partner or friends. If you are travelling solo, you will share a cabin with another person unless the boat isn’t full.
You can also book a private cabin for yourself for double the cost. Most people sleep on the deck under the stars rather than their cabins!
Where are the people from?
A large percentage of our customers are from English speaking countries, however we also get guests from other European countries.
Quiet trips or party boats?
Customers make the atmosphere so it all depends on who is on the yacht. Alaturka has departures everyday, some days more than 1 or 2 yachts are leaving, so we do consider age groups and requests when booking. We try to make it work for everyone but we cannot guarantee whether it is going to be quiet or a party boat, as we take bookings through out the year and only meet customers the morning of the cruise.
What to bring onboard
* Your passports * Towels (we don't provide) * Sunblock & aftersun lotion * Sunglasses * Swimsuit * Camera * Shoes for walks off the boat
Cigarettes or snacks, such as chocolates and potato crisps etc; we don't sell onboard.
What not to bring onboard
Please don't bring any drinks onboard (including water), you can buy water, juice, softdrinks wine and beer onboard at reasonable prices.
Other Arrangements
We can also help you find cheap flights, organise your airport transfers, book accommodation for before/after your cruise and for the rest of Turkey, daily tours, Turkey tours, Gallipoli tours, Cappadocia tours, bus tickets within Turkey, ferry tickets to Greece etc…

ARRIVING IN DEMRE WITH A PRIVATE CAR?
We do have a vehicle transfer service between Demre and Fethiye. You can drop your car off in Demre and our driver will deliver it to you in Fethiye when finishing your cruise. If you would like to use this service, you should let us know when booking your cruise.
This service costs 50 euros, excluding fuel.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES ALONG THE CRUISE
Paragliding Over Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon) - 2000 meters
From Baba mountain: Over the best beach in Europe... Oludeniz... in one word; Amazing!!!
It’s easier than you think; you just walk down the hill tandem (with a pilot). You’re in the air on your 2nd or 3rd step, then swooping down really smoothly above one of the best paragliding areas in the world for up to 45 mins, before landing on the blue lagoon.
Piece of cake!
Diving In Kas (or Fethiye)
Kas is a favourite spot for diving in Turkey. You could see some Ottoman ships or German planes from the Second World War, there are also some Ancient ruins to see. We can arrange this experience for you.
* You need to book all additional activities before your cruise, so we can arrange a speed boat pick up / drop off service to the boat. The pick up / drop off service is included.

Before Planning your Demre (Olympos) - Fethiye trip
We promote this tour as a ''Fethiye to Olympos cruise'' or ''Olympos to Fethiye cruise,'' but the trip between Olympos and Demre is a bus transfer, then the cruise starts from Demre just after midday.
Therefore; if you are planing to arrive in Olympos from another place like Antalya, Istanbul, Fethiye etc, it may not be a good idea to meet us in Olympos. It would be easier for you to meet us at Demre bus station, you just need to be there by 11:45 am (make sure you let us know in advance. Otherwise in the morning, if you are not in Olympos for the pick up, we may sell your spot).
Distances to Demre: Olympos to Demre 1.5 hour by our shuttle, 2 hours (2 bus) by local bus, Antalya to Demre 2.5 or 3 hours, Fethiye to Demre 3 hours, Kas to Demre 1 hour.
Joinging to tour From 'Cirali Beach'
We do not offer transfers from Cirali Beach, as its in the opposite direction, but you can join to our shuttle with a small arrangement. We start collecting people from Olympos at 10.00 am and on our way we can pick people up from the 'Olympos minibus station' (Olympos Koop, Eski Olympos Dolmus Duragi), by the main road around 10:30 am. This is one of two bus stations in Olympos, so please make sure you go to the correct one. What you should do:
- You will need to arrange your own transfer to the station, it's 30 min away from Cirali.
- You need to let us know if this is what you plan on doing so we know where to look for you.
The normal transfer charges from Cirali are; 1 - 4 persons = 30 YTL, 5 - 8 persons = 50 YTL, prices may vary at the hotels, we cannot arrange this for you. Please remember you should be at the station in Olympos ready by 10:30 am.
For more information on Cirali Beach & to arrange transfers, you can contact 'Canada Hotel - Cirali' at www.canadahotel.net or info@canadahotel.net
