Welcome aboard! Your cruise begins from Bodrum Port around 16:00 with your first destination set to the crystal-clear waters near Black Island, specifically Poyraz Bay — an ideal spot for a refreshing swim. Spend your first evening settling in and soaking up the Aegean breeze before dinner is served onboard.
We set sail early toward the serene Palamutbükü Bay, a hidden paradise on the Datça Peninsula. After lunch and swimming breaks, we continue to Ince Burun, a tranquil spot perfect for an overnight stay. Enjoy dinner under the stars in this peaceful bay.
After breakfast, cruise to Aktur Bay, then onward to the picturesque Bencik Bay, known for its narrow entrance and breathtaking landscape. This bay lies where the Gulf of Hisaronu and Gulf of Gökova nearly meet. Enjoy a dose of history as you learn about the ancient Cnidian attempt to dig a defensive canal here against Persian invasions. Dinner and overnight at Bencik Bay.
Wake up in paradise and enjoy a morning swim at Emel Sayın Bay, named after the famous Turkish singer. Then we cruise to Orhaniye Bay, home to the magical ‘Kız Kumu’ (Maiden’s Sandbar), where you can seemingly walk on water. End the day in the charming village of Selimiye — a favorite stop among blue cruise enthusiasts — for dinner and overnight.
After a swim stop at Dirsekbükü, we sail toward the traditional fishing town of Bozburun. Once known for sponge diving, Bozburun has evolved into a boutique gulet-building hub. Stroll through its quaint harbor or relax onboard before a peaceful overnight stay.
Cruise to Datça, a town famous for its pure air and mythic healing properties. Replenish supplies and explore the harbor, or enjoy a walk through its laid-back town center. Later, head to the ancient city of Knidos, once a thriving center for art, science, and architecture. Marvel at the remains of temples, theaters, and the famed statue of Aphrodite. Dinner and overnight in this historic bay.
We make our way back to Karaada (Black Island) for one last dip in Poyraz Bay, followed by lunch at the impressive Meteor Bay, where you can explore an underwater cave or jump into deep blue waters from a natural platform. In the evening, we return to Bodrum Harbor for a final night under the stars.
Enjoy a final breakfast onboard before disembarking at 10:00 AM. Leave with unforgettable memories of your Aegean voyage.
