Faralya

At 20 metres, Faralya is an intimate gulet departing from Fethiye, purpose-built for relaxed private cruising with groups of 8 or fewer.

Three en-suite cabins — one master and two doubles — fit eight guests with a level of privacy that holds up well over the course of a week. A professional crew of three covers the navigation, cooking, and daily upkeep, so guests can focus on the itinerary rather than the running of the boat.

Guests will find air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, a sound system, hot water throughout, hair dryers, an ice maker, sun awnings, and sun mattresses on deck on board, along with all the everyday essentials expected on a well-run gulet. When the anchor drops, the toys come out: Faralya carries a dinghy, kayaks, snorkelling gear, and fishing lines for active days in the water.

Faralya is named after the village perched above Butterfly Valley — one of the most striking anchorages on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, reachable only from the sea. Departing from Fethiye, the yacht follows naturally toward the landscapes its name invokes: the valley's waterfall and layered cliffs, the pine-fringed coves of the Twelve Islands, and the calm evening anchorages of Gocek Bay where the surrounding hills hold the light long after sunset.
