Cruise from Marmaris on a Turkish boat in 8 days

You will start the embarkation at 3:30 PM at the port of Marmaris, where the captain and crew will be waiting for you to begin this unique and wonderful experience.

You will have time to visit the old town and the Marmaris Bazaar with its small streets and hundreds of shops, bars, and restaurants. Additionally, you can visit Marmaris Castle which is located on the hill of the old town and offers a beautiful view of the port. You will spend the night in Marmaris.

Greca Tip: We recommend carrying your belongings in a travel bag instead of a suitcase because it is easier to store bags in the cabins of the ships.

After a tasty breakfast, we will set sail for the island of Arap, where you will have time to rest and swim in its crystal clear waters. You will also have time to enjoy your delicious lunch.

Later you will sail to Bozukkale, formerly known as Loryma. Bozukkale means "Crooked Castle" and is given this name because one of its sides is missing.

You will have dinner and spend the night in Bozukkale.

Greca tip: The lack of electricity, limited wi-fi connectivity, and peaceful atmosphere makes Bozukkale an ideal spot to disconnect from the pressures of everyday life, and simply enjoy the here and now.

After breakfast, we will anchor in the port of Datca. It is a small port city that dates back to Dorian times and is the closest place to the ancient city of Knidos, which is located in the extreme west of the peninsula, to which, optionally, you can join an excursion to visit it. Later we will anchor in a very nice nearby bay called Kargi, where you can enjoy swimming.

At night you will have free time to visit Datca with its charming streets and its port.

Greca tip: for the tours you will need shoes that can withstand stony paths.

On this day we will sail towards Aktur, where you can enjoy its waters, swimming and later we will sail towards Bencik, passing through its narrow entrance to enjoy its unique view. Bencik is located in the narrowest part of the Datca Peninsula, which divides the Gulf of Hisaronu from the Gulf of Gokova.

In 550 BC the Knido people wanted to dig a tunnel in Bencik, the narrowest piece of land on the peninsula as a line of defense against the Persians. In this way they tried to make Datca an island to make a stronger defense. However, in the end they could not cope and the city was finally conquered by the Persians.

Tip Greca: We suggest taking a short walk to the top of the Bencik hill, where you can enjoy at the same time the fantastic views of these two gulfs.

We will sail to the Gulf of Hisaronu and anchor in Orhaniye, where you can see the natural tidal formation called Kiz Kumu (Maiden's Beach) and the remains of an ancient castle located on a small island in the bay. Optionally, you can join a jeep safari that takes you to the small colorful villages in the mountains and to the waterfall of Turgut Village.

Then we will sail to Selimiye and anchor around Koca Island for the night.

Greca tip: don't forget to bring sunscreen and your beach towel, you will definitely need them! 

Today we will anchor in the bay of Dirsekbuku, where you can swim between blue waters and green scenery that meet in perfect harmony.

Then we will go to Bozburun, which is a small fishing village.

You will spend the night in a nice bay around Bozburun.

Greca tip: for the ground trips we advise bringing a pair of light long pants and a shirt or t-shirt.

After a tasty breakfast, we will leave for Kadirga or Kumlubuk Bay, which is within sight of Marmaris, but is separated from it by an imposing set of limestone mountains.

You will have lunch in a beautiful bay on the island of Cennet.

You will spend the night in the port of Marmaris.

Greca tip: If you have some spare time while on Cennet Island, it is worth visiting the Nimara Cave.

From the Greca Team, we hope to see you again to enjoy some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.
