Itinerary
Day 1: Marmaris
On the first day, the service starts on the boat with dinner and overnight stay in Marmaris Port. Marmaris, which was built upon the antique Karian city, has been under the governorship of many different civilizations. The most valuable work-piece that you will see today is Marmaris Castle dating from 1577. There is also a mosque and an 8-room caravansarai covered with arches from the Ottoman Period. The ruins of the Antique times lie on Asar Hill; a small hill located on the northern side of the city. Being one of the best-known touristic places of Turkey Marmaris also has a large marina.

Whilst you have breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and the boat. The sailing will start with Ekincik Gulf. Dinner and overnight stay will be in the Gulf of Ekincik.
Day 3: Tersane Island, Sunken Turkish Bath, Kızıl Island
Because of the wavy seas of Disibilmez and Kurtoglu capes that we have to cross, we will cruise earlier than the other days and reach the world-famous Gocek Gulf. We will anchor at Tersane Island for breakfast and swimming break. This naturally protected harbour was used as the shipyard in Byzantine and Ottoman times.
