Gocek to Marmaris to Gocek

Today we’ll cruise to Ekincik Bay, a peaceful spot surrounded by forested hills. From here, you can join an optional excursion through the reed-lined channels of the Dalyan Delta—a true highlight of any Blue Cruise.

Optional Tour: Dalyan & Mud Baths
Hop aboard a flat-bottomed riverboat and glide through the protected wetlands of the Dalyan Delta. You’ll pass the ancient Lycian rock tombs of Caunos, carved high into the cliffs, and stop in the town of Dalyan. Then it’s time for a dip in the sulfur-rich mud baths, known for their skin-reviving properties. On the way back, you’ll cruise past Iztuzu Beach, a protected nesting ground for endangered Caretta turtles.

We’ll have dinner and spend the night anchored in Ekincik Bay.

We’ll start the day with breakfast in Ekincik Bay, then cruise to Kadirga Bay for a swim and lunch in its clear, calm waters. In the afternoon, we head to Marmaris, where we’ll moor alongside a fleet of gulets and yachts in this vibrant, well-loved harbor. Enjoy dinner on board, then take a stroll to explore the nearby cafés, bars, and the winding streets of the old town.

After the buzz of Marmaris, we’ll ease into the peaceful bay of Kumlubuk after breakfast. Enjoy a relaxing swim and lunch in this quiet spot before we cruise along the coast, making our way back toward Gocek.

We’ll start the engines early to shift location for breakfast, then cruise across the mouth of the Fethiye Gulf and around the peninsula for a view of the spectacular Oludeniz Beach and its famous Blue Lagoon. You’ll have the chance to swim at the long stretch of beach, try out water sports, or simply admire the dramatic backdrop of Babadag Mountain.

In the evening, we’ll moor at Gemiler Adası (St. Nicholas Island), once a hideout for Lycian and Byzantine pirates. Swim, snorkel, explore the ruins of an ancient village, or hike to the top for an unforgettable sunset.

After breakfast, we’ll cruise back into the Bay of Gocek, known for its famous 12 Islands and countless hidden coves. We’ll likely anchor near the Yassica Islands for lunch and a swim in their calm, clear waters. Later, we’ll move on to another picturesque bay for dinner and an overnight stay.

Today will be a relaxed final day spent cruising among the coves and islands of the Gocek Bay area. Your captain may choose from beautiful spots like Atbuku, Boynuz Buku, Bedri Rahmi Bay, Sıralıbuk, Sarsala, Manastir, or the islands of Gocek, Yassica, Tersane, and Domuz. We’ll stop for lunch at one of these locations, then anchor in a quiet, scenic bay for our final night on board.

After breakfast, the gulet will return to the Gocek quayside for disembarkation by 09:00. It’s time to say farewell after an unforgettable journey along the coast.
