Twelve islands, one perfect blue
A slow gulet day through Göcek's sheltered archipelago — the bays you'll measure every other bay against.
The experience
The art of doing beautifully little
From Göcek's palm-lined marina we slip out among pine-covered islands scattered like stepping stones across the gulf. The captain knows which bay is calmest at every hour; your only job is deciding whether to swim before lunch, after it, or both.
Drop anchor off the Yassıca islets, where the water is a blue that doesn't photograph honestly. Drift past Tersane Island's old Ottoman shipyard, and the sunken walls at Hamam Bay — where, the story goes, Cleopatra once bathed. Lunch comes off the grill as the boat swings gently at anchor.
- Swim stops at Yassıca islets & hidden coves
- Tersane Island's Ottoman shipyard ruins
- Cleopatra's sunken bath at Hamam Bay
- Fresh lunch from the on-board galley
- Snorkelling gear on board
