10-day route · Turkey
Lycian coast ten-day passage
A ten-day south-west Turkey passage for experienced crews — open bays, archaeological sites, and stronger afternoon winds.
- Allow buffer days — meltemi can pause westbound legs.
- Kaş harbour tight in season — stern-to practice essential.
- Check anchor holding on weed bottom — set anchor twice if in doubt.
Passage spine
Fethiye → Ölüdeniz (weather window) → Kalkan → Kaş → return or one-way drop-off planning.
Compare Hallberg-Rassy HR 36 for offshore-capable Mediterranean cruisers.
