Where a week from Fethiye takes you
Every Joy Yachting charter starts and finishes at Ece Marina in Fethiye, 45 minutes from Dalaman Airport. From there the coast opens in three directions: the sheltered bays around Göcek, the long reach of the Gulf of Fethiye, and the run south towards Ölüdeniz. These are the anchorages our captains point people towards, and the yachts in our fleet that suit each of them.
Where the bays are
Every charter starts and finishes at Ece Marina. The rings show how far each bay is from the marina in a straight line; by sea, rounding the headlands adds a little.
