Boncuklu Butterfly Valley Oludeniz St Nicholas
After a hearty Turkish breakfast on the side of the boat, we set sail for the world-famous... see+ Butterfly Valley (weather permitting). This spectacular protected nature reserve is nestled between steep cliffs and is home to over 130 species of butterflies, including the iconic Marbled White, which is most prevalent in spring and early summer. You can swim directly from the boat or choose to go ashore to explore the lush interior of the valley, which includes a refreshing waterfall, rustic yoga platforms, and a charming, laid-back hippie atmosphere. Note: An entrance fee applies to disembark, and we strongly recommend wearing sturdy shoes if you plan to hike, as the trails can be difficult and slippery.
Next, we embark on a scenic one-hour cruise to the iconic Ölüdeniz (Blue Lagoon), a breathtaking coastal national park and one of the most photographed locations in Turkey. While we drop anchor for lunch, the more adventurous will have the opportunity to experience the thrill of tandem paragliding from the summit of Mount Babadag, soaring above the lagoon for a truly unparalleled aerial view.
In the late afternoon, we continue to the historic island of Saint Nicholas. Here, you can explore the fascinating ruins of a Byzantine settlement and a 1,400-year-old church scattered across the hillsides. To end the day on a high note, we recommend a gentle 15-20 minute hike to the top of the island. The reward is one of the most spectacular panoramic sunsets on the entire Lycian coast. An entrance fee is required to explore the island's historical sites. Dinner is served on the side of the boat, followed by a peaceful night in the anchorage in the calm waters in the open sea off the island of Saint Nicholas.
