Do you ever think about what is spring fun for little goats?
Roaming by the sea, of course. (Just like you.)

Gemiler island is a nice stop while sailing around Fethiye and Göcek. Safe and sheltering place to anchor and spend the night as well. If you visit here, you should land the island and take a walk through the 1500 year old Byzantine remains. 

Archaeologists believe it was the location of the original tomb of Saint Nicholas.

Described on Italian medieval maritime charts as St. Nicholas Island, Gemiler seems to have thrived as a key stop on the Christian pilgrimage route to the Holy Land. Pilgrims sailing to Jerusalem would put in at this safe harbour, replenish water and supplies and pray for their safe journey. Today, one can explore the remains of these early churches, decorated with mosaics and frescoes, discover a huge public cistern and walk in a unique processional passageway up to the cathedral church and the island’s summit with its stunning 360-degree views.

Sailing on a Turkish gulet was a brilliant and relaxing way to discover the Lycian coast. We went with a local operator from Demre to Fethiye in 4 days. On the way we saw gorgeous places and pristine coves and swam in blue water. We would do it again in a heartbeat, also given the accessible price.
