Phaselis ยท From Antalya
Weekly charter, Phaselis
Seven nights, and the coast opens past the day boat range.
- Duration7 nights
- Sailing time3.5 h
How the day runs
On a week Phaselis is usually the first night rather than a day trip, because it is close enough to reach in the evening after a late start. Boats lie in the southern harbour where the holding is good, and by nine the site has emptied of visitors and the only sound is the pines. It is the gentlest possible first night for anyone who has not slept aboard before.
A week changes what is reachable. Instead of returning each evening you keep going west, sleeping in bays that day boats never see, and the anchorages get emptier as you go. Provisioning, laundry and route changes are handled aboard; you decide each morning how far to push.
About Phaselis
Phaselis was a trading city with three separate harbours, and all three are still there, shallow and swimmable, with a paved Roman street running between them under umbrella pines. You can anchor off the middle harbour, swim ashore, and walk an aqueduct and a theatre before lunch. It is the rare site where the ruins and the swimming are the same stop.

Practical notes
The season runs from late April to the end of October, and July and August are the busiest weeks. Boarding is normally between 09:00 and 10:00, and the run out to Phaselis takes about 3.5 h. Bring a hat, reef safe sun cream and soft soled shoes; towels, snorkel sets and shade are already aboard. Hotel pickup across Antalya, Kemer, Belek and Lara can be arranged the evening before at no extra charge. If the forecast turns, the captain moves the route to the sheltered side of the coast rather than cancelling, and a genuine weather cancellation is refunded in full.
Common questions
How long does it take to reach Phaselis?
About 3.5 h of sailing from the departure marina, which is why boarding is early and the return is timed for the last of the light.
Is lunch included on a Weekly charter?
A full Mediterranean lunch is prepared aboard by the chef, with soft drinks, water, tea and Turkish coffee included. Wine and spirits are charged separately or you are welcome to bring your own.
Can we swim at every stop?
At almost all of them. The exception is directly over protected ruins, where swimming is restricted by law, so the swim stop moves to the bay alongside.
What happens if the weather changes?
The captain reroutes to the sheltered side of the coast, which on this coastline almost always works. If a day genuinely cannot sail, you are refunded in full.
How many guests can come?
From two up to twelve, depending on the yacht. Larger parties are handled by taking two boats out together on the same route.
