Turkey Itinerary
Nature and the weather can be unpredictable, so your flexibility is important. All swims are planned with safety at their heart, and your guides will adapt the plan day by day to ensure the best possible experience. Want to sit out part of a swim? Just let the guides know and hop back on the boat – no problem at all.
Arrival
As most flights arrive late in the evening, the guides will introduce themselves and ensure you have checked into your rooms before letting you get some rest ahead of Sunday morning’s breakfast, briefing and first swim.
Acclimatisation & Exploration
This morning we will meet for breakfast and the safety briefing, before heading to the local bay for our first acclimatisation swim. After lunch, we will walk to the bay on the peninsula for a slightly longer swim and some underwater video coaching. In the evening, we will enjoy dinner on the terrace with a chance to get to know each other a little better!
Coastal swims
AM: Coastal Swim (1.5km-2km) | PM: Lycian Way Swim (1.5-2km)
Today we meet our lovely local boat pilot for the week, who will be showing us some of the best swimming this area has to offer. In the morning we will board and complete a stunning coastal swim (1.5-2km). Look out for turtles who often join us here – before a delicious lunch on board. In the afternoon, we will enjoy a swim (1.5-2km) under ancient tombs nestled in the cliffside.
Exploring beautiful Islands
AM: Island swims (2km) | PM: Exploring the Peninsula (1.5-2km)
After breakfast, we are back on the Gulet to explore around and between some beautiful islands (2 km) before a relaxed lunch on board. In the afternoon, we will enjoy an incredible swim along the peninsula (1.5km – 2km) before cruising back to the Aqua Princess for drinks and dinner.
Visiting the Sunken City
Today we enjoy an early breakfast before jumping on board a minibus and travelling to visit the sunken city. Today our swims are more leisurely, taking in the stunning scenery with short swims off the tripper boat.
The five island archipelago
This morning we are up and off for an exciting swim around the five island archipelago. Today offers the chance to complete a slightly longer circumnavigation (3km) followed by a well deserved lunch. In the afternoon, we will enjoy a shorter swim around another of these stunning islands.
Final swim and goodbyes
This morning we will enjoy a glorious, optional sunrise swim before breakfast and departures.
