Full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKqjmVe7Aus We are really excited to share this video, a beautiful place with so much natural beauty. Butterfly Valley is a bit of a special place because so few people can get to the beach. Only accessible via boat or a steep hike down a cliff face, this paradise was a favorite of ours. We begin our journey from Fethiye in Southern Turkey and leave early in our Hanse 445 sail boat. Our plan is to leave early to get the pick of the anchorage and beat all the tourist boats who arrive from around 11am. It's also important to choose a calm day with favourable wind and swell conditions. The research we had conducted showed many of the tourist boats would land their boats on the left hand side of the bay. When we arrived the right hand side was free, with a perfect spot in front of the swimming enclosure. We dropped in 28m and let out 40m of chain. We spent the next couple of hours swimming and exploring this beautiful area, spotting numerous sea turtles, schools of fish and snorkeling the rocks nearby. We also took the tender out and explored the rocks away from the beach. There is a hike up through Butterfly valley that is worth while. It costs 10TL to enter the valley which takes you through the valley into a canyon with steep walls and 2 waterfalls which cool the entire area. There are some cables drilled into the rocks to assist you to climb higher up the valley which gives you access to better views and the waterfalls. There are 105 butterfly species that call the valley home, but they aren't easy to find. I am fortunate to find 3 different species of butterfly. When I return from my walk the once peaceful Butterfly Valley is filled with noise and tourist boats which changes the feel of the place. I would definitely recommend arriving early and spending the first couple hours of the day soaking up the tranquility. We decide to spend the night at Karacaören Restaurant, which has buoys for sailboats to tie-up to for free if you dine at the restaurant. The water looks similar to Butterfly Valley, a perfect blue with great clarity. The evening is spent dining at the restaurant, taking in the special view and enjoying great company, a perfect day in paradise.

Emozioni miste. Ci riflettevo oggi. Tutta l’attenzione l’hanno rubata orche e meteo. Nessuno a pensare a cosa ci stessimo lasciando alle spalle. Tutto è partito con grande trepidazione: la prima Gibilterra e il primo splash in Atlantico. Da lì è stato la nostra casa per un bel po’. Ci ha visti attraversare da Cadice alle Canarie. Dalle Canarie a Capo Verde. Da Capo Verde il grande salto ai Caraibi. È sempre stato educato, posato, tranquillo. Tranne agli arrivi. Ecco gli arrivi ce li ha movimentati parecchio, ma glielo concediamo. Abbiamo girato i Caraibi per mesi, aspettando la finestra migliore per rientrare. Così qualche giorno fa abbiamo riattraversato verso l’Europa. Azzorre, per la precisione. Da lì Madeira e domani sarà la volta delle sue porte: Gibilterra. Usciamo dall’Atlantico per rientrare nel Mediterraneo. L’aria di casa si fa più intensa, più nitida. Tornare è emozionante e al tempo stesso un’enigma. Sapremo riadattarci alla terra? Alla città? Un caro amico oggi mi ha scritto che un viaggio non è tale se non prevede un ritorno a casa che ti faccia assaporare con più gusto ogni cosa. Penso sia proprio così. Tornare vorrà dire riprendere contatto con la vita di prima ma da persone nuove, completamente diverse. Che poi tornare… quanto durerà?… qui a bordo ci sono già dei piani…. Ma questa è un’altra storia. Ora siamo qui, a goderci l’ultima notte in queste onde lunghe che ci sollevano e riappoggiano delicatamente. Con loro procediamo decisi con la prua sullo stretto. Domani sarà un’altra giornata di emozioni forti♥️ meglio riposare! Buona notte a tutti e a domani Andrea
