September is one of the best months to enjoy a gulet charter in Turkey. The summer crowds begin to fade, the weather is pleasantly warm, and the sea remains invitingly clear. With calmer bays and more space at anchor, it’s the perfect time to discover the magic of a blue cruise. Here are the top 5 gulet routes to experience in September.
Sailing from Bodrum into the pristine Gökova Gulf is a timeless classic. This route offers pine-fringed bays, untouched islands, and a blend of history and natural beauty. In September, the air is cooler, making hikes along ancient paths more comfortable, while swimming in crystal-clear waters is still as refreshing as midsummer.
This itinerary combines charming fishing villages, hidden coves, and spectacular sunsets. Hisarönü Gulf is especially peaceful in September, giving guests a chance to fully enjoy secluded anchorages and water sports without the peak-season bustle. It’s also ideal for families looking for calm seas and cultural excursions.
Göcek is famous for its 12 islands and sheltered bays, often described as a natural marina. In September, the turquoise waters are warm and inviting, and the anchorages are less crowded. This route is perfect for relaxation, snorkeling, and enjoying gourmet meals on deck while surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
For travelers who want history with their holiday, the Antalya to Kekova route is a must. You can explore the ancient Lycian ruins, the sunken city of Simena, and charming villages like Kaleköy. September’s mild climate makes onshore explorations and archaeological site visits much more pleasant.
If you’re looking to combine Turkey with Greece, this September route is unbeatable. Departing from Bodrum, you can sail to Kos, Symi, and Rhodes, discovering a mix of cultures, cuisines, and architecture. September is also the ideal month for island-hopping, with calmer seas and lighter port traffic.
