Delmar Sailing is located in the historic City of Fethiye, Turkey.
Fethiye was originally the ancient city of Telmessos. Telmessos was once the most important city of Lycia, with a recorded history starting in the 5th century BC.
Legend says that Alexander the Great, on a mission to invade Anatolia in the winter of 334–333 BC, entered Telmessos harbour with his fleet. The commander of the fleet asks permission of the King of Telmessos for his musicians and slaves to enter the city. On getting the permission, the warriors with weapons hidden in the flute boxes capture the acropolis during the night.
The town grew considerably during the 19th century, with a large Greek population at that time. After the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the town was resettled with Turks from Greece.
In 1934, the city was renamed 'Fethiye' in honor of Fethi Bey, one of the first pilots of the Ottoman Air Force. Fethi Bey was killed during a mission when his plane crashed at the Golan Hieghts while flying from Demascus to Jerusalem.
Find Us
When Delmar is not out having fun on the Aegean, you can find us docked and reprovisioning at the ECE Saray Marina and Resort. We are easy to find, located on Dock "G".
Fethiye is ideally located within a large and protected bay on the Lycian coast of Turkey (the Turkish Riviera). This allows Delmar to easily reach some of the most beautiful and desireable areas in this region. Prime destinations such as the Gocek Islands, Oludeniz, Butterfly Valley and Turunc are very close-by while other attractive desinations lie within a day of sailing in both directions up and down the coast such as Kas, Kalkan, Dalyan, Marmaris, Bozburun, Datca and Bodrum. The Greek Islands of Rhodes, Tilos, Symi and Kos are also popular destinations and easy to get to from Fethiye.
