Board your gulet at Bodrum Harbor after 4 PM and begin your Turkish adventure. Before departure, take time to explore this lively coastal town — home to Bodrum Castle, the Underwater Archaeology Museum, and the ancient amphitheater overlooking the sea.
After a warm welcome and dinner onboard, your captain will set sail toward Karaada Island — famous for its natural thermal springs and tranquil coves. As the sun sets over the Aegean, relax and soak in the peaceful start to your journey.

Wake up to the serene beauty of Cnidus Harbor, once a bustling trade hub in the Roman and Byzantine eras. Explore the ancient city of Knidos, often called the “Gate of the Aegean,” with highlights including the Temple of Aphrodite, twin harbors, and grand theaters that overlook the sea.
After lunch, cruise to Palamutbuku Beach, renowned for its transparent waters — perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing in nearby seaside cafes. Enjoy an afternoon tea as the sun dips behind the hills, followed by dinner under a star-studded sky.

Today, anchor at Datça, a charming seaside town where history and beauty blend seamlessly. Stroll through its cobblestone streets lined with bougainvillea, browse boutique shops, and taste local honey and olive oil.
Venture to the ancient ruins of Knidos Peninsula, where the remnants of a temple dedicated to Aphrodite overlook the sparkling turquoise sea. Datça’s peaceful ambiance and natural allure make it one of the Aegean coast’s best-kept secrets.

Start your day surrounded by the emerald waters of Serçe Port, a quiet inlet framed by rugged cliffs. This spot, once a key trade stop during Byzantine times, offers crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming or kayaking.
Continue cruising to Bozukkale, where you’ll find the remains of an ancient fortress once used as a naval base. Wander through the ruins, take in panoramic sea views, or simply unwind on deck as your gulet gently rocks in the bay.

Sail into Ekincik Bay, one of the most serene and scenic spots on Turkey’s southern coast. Surrounded by pine-clad mountains, this tranquil bay offers an ideal day of swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.
Optional: Take a small riverboat excursion to Dalyan, where you can see the Lycian rock tombs, explore Kaunos ruins, and bathe in natural mud springs. Back onboard, enjoy dinner while the sounds of nature echo across the bay.

This morning, dive into history at Cleopatra’s Bath, where legend says the Egyptian queen herself once swam in the warm, mineral-rich waters. Swim among the sunken ruins of a Roman bath surrounded by lush pine forests.
Next, sail to Bedri Rahmi Bay, named after a beloved Turkish artist and poet. Explore hidden Lycian rock tombs, snorkel in turquoise waters, or relax on deck while surrounded by pure tranquility.

Today, you’ll explore the 12 Islands of Göcek, each with its own charm — from untouched coves and sea caves to lush islets alive with bird song. Glide across clear blue waters, keeping an eye out for dolphins and Caretta caretta sea turtles.
Later, stop at the Yassıca Islands, a small chain of islets surrounded by calm lagoons and hidden ruins. Swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the breathtaking Mediterranean scenery as your voyage nears its end.
