OVERVIEW

Revel in scenic vistas of the Bodrum Peninsula during this relaxing cruise along its stunning coastline. You’ll set sail for the small bays and coves around the harbor in a gulet, a traditional Turkish wooden-hulled boat sporting two or three masts. Discover the picturesque island of Kara Ada, also known as Black Island, across from the approach to Bodrum. In calm weather, you’ll notice bubbles rising to the surface from a submerged spring in a seaside cave along Kara Ada’s shore. Learn that the island’s hot springs are thought to have therapeutic qualities, which were reputedly incorporated into luxurious skincare treatments by beauty guru Elizabeth Arden. During your coastal exploration, relish an opportunity to swim in the transparent waters of Poyraz Limani, a cozy, crystalline bay. Find serenity as you glide through idyllic coves and inlets, soaking up the magnificent scenery of the azure Aegean Sea and enjoying revitalizing refreshments and local wine along the way.
