going NW to Marmaris, SE to Kalkan\/Ka\u015f or simply enjoying the many coves in the bays of G\u00f6cek and Fethiye, any plan can make an interesting and adventurous sailing holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Our itineraries are for\u00a0one and two week sails. \u00a0In total, nearly 30 locations have been selected \u2013 towns to coves, sophisticated to rustic. \u00a0A brief summary of each port is accessible through links on the itineraries pages. \u00a0They are all beautiful and interesting places. \u00a0We think you will have as difficult a time making selections as we did.<\/p>\n<p><img
