Daily Boat Tour to Oludeniz
Some of the cruising boats, after the stop at Sovalye Island, instead of heading in the direction of Gocek sail for Oludeniz, stopping at the coves and islands on the way. You pass by Sahin (Eagle) and Iblis (Devil) Capes then come to Gemile Island, here those who want can go to the beaches and coves of the island, before re-embarking and continuing to Oludeniz. Belcegiz Beach and Kidirak Beach and then as far as Kelebekler Vadisi (The Butterfly Valley), the sea on this route can be a bit rougher than on the Gocek side and make some people feel a touch queasy.
Gemile Adisi - Gemile Island is just opposite Gemile Cove and beach. The former name for this island was St Nicholas, on the island there are the remains of churches dates to the Early Christian era and the Byzantine period. The frescoes of the large churches are in good condition, on the sea side there are the ruins of cisterns, the most interesting historical relic is the tunnel that links the two churches to each other. Some parts of the 500 metres long tunnel have collapsed, there are 17 stops in the staircase inside the tunnel; these are to represent the 17 points at which Christ halted while he was taken to be crucified. As a result of an earthquake in 240-241 AD some of the ruins have slipped beneath the sea, lying at two metres depth. In the summer months the tree covered Gemile Cove and beach being well sheltered, is frequented not only by boats but also by picnickers who come through Fethiye-Hisaronu-Kayakoy. The cove is 4 kilometres from Kayakoy, and you get to Gemile Cove from there on foot, this is also a stopping point of one of the trekking trails.
Around Gemile there are also other locations to visit; these include Bestaslar, Soguksu - where there is a fresh water spring out into the sea, Kisik Cove and Afkule to the west of Kisik. You may not be able to do all in one day, we are not overstating the case when say that days and weeks will not be enough for Fethiye.
Boat tours to nearby coves and islands
There are motor boat tours from the quay to the islands to the west and north-west of Fethiye Peninsula. The boats leave around 10:00-11:00 am and return in the evening 17:00 or 18:00 pm.
There are two popular routes for the daily boat tours. One is the 12 Adalar (12 Islands) on the Gocek side of the Peninsula and the other is along the Oludeniz side. On both tours either first or last stop is Sovalya Adasi (Island of Knights) opposite of Fethiye.
In windy weather the boat rip to Oludeniz area can rock passengers a bit. However, trips on both routes take in the most beautiful coves and islands of Turkey.
