(BODRUM-GÖKOVA-BODRUM / 8 DAYS 7 NIGHTS)  

Every Saturday, Sunday

Day 1: BODRUM

On the first day, boarding starts at 15:30 from Bodrum Harbour. The boat will stay anchored in Bodrum Harbour for dinner and overnight. Bodrum’s history dates back to the 12th century B.C. when the city was called ’Halicarnassus’, it was the birthplace of Herodotus; the ’Father of History’ who lived in the 5th century B.C. Take the chance to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the ’Mausoleum’ of King Mausolus (350 B.C.), while you are here. The Amphitheater is the only structure that has survived from the Classical Era. With a capacity of 13000 guests it is one of the oldest theatres in Anatolia, today it is still hosting many shows and concerts for the art-lovers of Bodrum. The ’Castle of Saint Peter’ is the landmark of the city and another place you should visit while you are in Bodrum. Dating back to the Middle Ages it is one of the best-preserved pieces of architecture. Another place you should not miss is ’Myndos Gate’ where Alexander the Great entered Halicarnassus.

Day 2: ORAK ISLAND – COKERTME

Following breakfast, you will be given information about the cruise itinerary and the boat. We will then set sail to Orak Island. Here we will have a swimming stop in the crystal-blue waters and enjoy lunch. After lunch, we will cruise to Cokertme, a small and picturesque fishing town, where we will stay for dinner and an overnight stay. If the weather conditions permit, it may be possible to use the sail on the way. Guests are welcome to take a short walk on the shore.

Day 3: SEVEN ISLANDS (KUFRE / UZUN LIMAN -LONG PORT) - ENGLISH HARBOUR    

We will cruise to Seven Islands early the next morning before breakfast. Here, you will experience another excellent day in the Seven Islands Region. This region is full of many small islands and coral reef; we recommend that you should dive, swim, sleep, rest and enjoy yourself. You can also enjoy a walk in the pine forests. The first stop in the Seven Islands Region will be Kufre Bay. Next, we will be anchoring at Uzun Liman (Long Port). Later, for dinner and an overnight stay, we will cruise to English Port. English Port was given its name as during the 2nd World War the ships of the British Navy forces used to dock here. In the Seven Islands area, there are many small and large bays which are suitable and sheltered enough to anchor for the boats.

Day 4: CLEOPATRA ISLAND – KARACASOGUT

The next morning is a cruise to Sedir (Cedrae) Island. This unique island is like an open-air museum with its small beach and unbelievably clear water.

While walking around you will see wrecks of pillars with antique writings on them or the ancient stones decorated with reliefs. Located on this island is Cleopatra Beach. According to the myth, King Antonius (Mark Anthony) brought the sand from Egypt via sea for Cleopatra. Later the boat will sail to Karacasogut village for dinner and spend the night there. This lovely village is located 25 km away from Marmaris. Therefore, it is possible to visit Marmaris via ’dolmus’(minibusses) if you wish. There is also an optional tour to Dalyan - Kaunos.
