Marmaris - Datca - Marmaris Itinerary

From 15:30 pm you can begin boarding the gulet that will be your home for the next week. We will have dinner on board and stay overnight at Marmaris Port. Take time to explore the amazing Marmaris Castle, built-in 1577, the Ottoman mosque and the eight-room caravansary. 

This is the start of your blue voyage in Turkey. After breakfast, we will head to the Bozburun Peninsula. After lunch and a swimming break, we will cruise on to Bozukkale, where we will spend the night. The historical city of Loryma has a castle with nine temples. The name Bozukkale means 'crooked castle', as one side is missing. 

After breakfast, we will cruise to Datca, where we will stock up with food and water while you can take a short stroll through the port. In the city, you will see the ruins of temples, theatres and other buildings. There is no humidity in Datca and the air is very fresh. You can explore Datca by yourself or join an optional city tour. We will have dinner and sleep in Datca or a nearby bay.

We will cruise on to Aktur Bay after breakfast. After we have lunch here we will move along the northern side of the gulf, with our first stop at Bencik Bay, which has a very narrow entrance but a unique view when you get inside. Bencik is located at the narrowest part of the peninsula that divides Hisaronu Gulf from the Gokova Gulf. This is where we will have dinner and spend the night.

Today we cruise to the inner side of Hisaronu Gulf. For lunch, we will dock in Selimiye Bay and then move on to Orhaniye, where you can join the optional jeep safari. Or you can follow the reddish sand to the small island in the bay where you can explore the ruins of an antique castle. We will spend the night in Orhaniye. 

After breakfast, we will make our way to Dirsekbuku. After a stop there we will be going to Bozburun, a small fishing town that used to be known for its sponge diving but is now a quiet place for Turkish gulets to stop and relax. Bozburun will be our last stop for the day.

Today we will sail to Kadirga or Kumlubuk Bay after breakfast. We will then move on to Cennet Island (Paradise) for a swimming break. For our final night together we will return to Marmaris Port. Take the opportunity to hit the streets of Marmaris and experience its famous nightlife.
