Returning to Fethiye we provision True East for the start of Aegean cruise. This will take us north up the Turkish coast as far as Ayvalik below the Dardanelles Staights. As we will be heading into the prevailing winds, our plan is to start our days early and keep the distances between stops short.
The first leg will take us from Fethiye to Bodrum with stops at Guck, Marmaris, Lugla, and Knidos. Bodrum is one of Turkiye’s larger cities with a good airport.
From Bodrum we continue north up the coast with Didim, Kusadasi with a side trip to the ancient city of Ephesus and perhaps more, then on to Cesne, Eski and finally to Ayvalik. Ayvalik is another major city with a good airport.
