Day 1
Boarding the yacht in Marmaris, we share a 'welcome aboard'
drink with the captain and crew. A short briefing from the
captain gives us all we need to know about the boat and
how we will spend our week onboard. Dinner and overnight
in Marmaris Harbour.
Day 2 After breakfast and passport
formalities are complete, we head south for Rhodes,
arriving in the early afternoon. After lunch on the boat
(and after check-in is complete) we are free to start
exploring Rhodes town - the castle and the quaint streets.
For those who wish to hire a car or a moped, we would
recommend you visit Lindos and/or the Acropolis. Dinner
aboard our yacht, and a night out on the town.
