Day 1: GOCEK HARBOR - SARSALA BAY - KLEOPATRA BAY ( SUNKEN
BATH ) - AGA HARBOR
The gulf of Gocek is, due to its
well protected geographical formations, one of the most important spots of
yacht tourism. Boarding starts at 11.00 am from Gocek Harbor. After the harbor
procedures have been completed, we will cruise to Sarsala Bay for lunch and a
swimming break.
To get a taste of paradise you will
enjoy diving into the clear waters of this magnificent bay with its unspoiled
nature. You will be overwhelmed by its beauty.
In the afternoon, we will cruise
towards Cleopatra Bay ( Sunken Bath Cove ). Under water there are historical
remains of a bath. The bay is named after Cleopatra, because she have visited
and bathed here on several occasions. During
your lunch and swimming break in this bay, you will witness the most
magnificent shades of blue water. We will cruise to Aga harbor for dinner and
overnight stay.
Day 2: AGA HARBOR - BUTTERFLY VALLEY - OLUDENIZ - GEMILER
ISLAND
In the morning we will leave Aga
harbor and sail towards Butterfly Valley.
This Valley; is located in the Oludeniz
region at the foothill of Babadag mountain. Not only for its natural assets and
surrounding steep walls up to 350 meters, also the valley attracts attention
with its endemic plant species. The Valley does its right to be called the ‘Butterfly
Valley’, because it is home to more than eighty butterfly species and including
the ‘Jersey Tiger’.
After breakfast and swimming break,
we will cruise towards Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon), which is a lake as its name
suggests. We anchor here for a long swim break and lunch.
Dinner and overnight stay will be at
Gemiler Island ( Aya Nikolas Island ), which is 1 kilometre long and 400 meters
wide. On the Island there are remainings of churches and religious buildings
from the Middle Ages Period. The Island is rocky; therefore the foundations of
churches and houses are carved into the rocks. The ruins can also be seen on the
sea surface.
Day 3: GEMILER ISLAND - BEDRI RAHMI BAY - TERSANE ISLAND -
YASSICA ISLAND
After breakfast, we leave Gemiler
Island behind us and cruise towards Bedri Rahmi Bay.
Bedri Rahmi Eyuboglu; a Turkish
painter, writer and poet came here in 1974 and because of his love for art he
wanted to leave a ‘signature’ of himself. On a big stone at the entrance of the
bay at first sight you see a fish painting, but as soon as you come closer you will
notice it contains actually six animals, instead of only one fish. This bay was
formerly known as Tasyaka, but after the painting it got its current name.
For lunch and another swimming
break, we will cruise to Tersane Island, the largest island of Gocek Bay. The
Island got its name from the Ottoman Period where this Island was mainly used
as a shipyard. We will be cruising towards our last stop of the day, where we
will anchor.
The variety of islands; from large
to small, offering options with their low, high, deep and shallow waters, are
gathered in the same area under the name of "Yassica Islands".
Dinner and overnight stay will be in
this beautiful region.

ISLAND - GOCEK ISLAND - GOCEK HARBOR
