Bodrum Blue Cruise

Bodrum is a charming and fascinating little port, 270 km. south of Izmir, on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The inhabitants of Bodrum are around 30.000 and earn their living by fishing, boat-building, agriculture, weaving (the village Mumcular is famous for its carpets, kilims and other weavings) and tourism, which has become the most important industry in the last few years. In recent times Bodrum has become not only a tourist center but also a visiting place for famous Turkish and foreign artists and also an art center, which is a source of inspiration.

MARMARIS - BODRUM - MARMARIS


DAY 1:

Transfer from Dalaman Airport to the offices of Star Yachting in Marmaris and then from there to Karacasogut where your yacht is anchored all ready. The Captain will offer you a welcome cocktail accompanied by some information about the cruise and then there'll be nothing to keep you from diving over board into the cool, clear waters of the bay. The cruise begins!.

DAY 2:

After breakfast we'll weigh anchor for Cleopatra's Bay, about 5 sm. to the east. Cleopatra is said to have bathed there. The sand on the little beach is of a very special kind, to be found nowhere else in Turkey. After lunch we'll set course for Akbük Bay where we will stay for the night.

DAY 3:

We'll spend the morning hours sailing on towards the west. We'll stop over for lunch at the Orak Islands and a dip, then proceed to Bodrum. There we'll anchor in the Marina. You'll have the whole night to spend at will shopping, sightseeing and enjoying the lively night life of Bodrum.

Day 4:

During the morning our ship will remain anchored in the marina so that you may visit the castle of Bodrum and the underwater museum where the remains of the oldest shipwreck ever salvaged and it's precious load of glassware can be seen. As soon as the usual early afternoon wind arises we'll leave Bodrum on a southerly course for ancient Knidos. Today there live just a few fishermen amongst the ruins, whereas in old times the town had a population of 70.000 inhabitants.

DAY 5:

On this day we'll cruise along the coast of Datca Peninsula. After a lunch stop at Ýnceburun we'll set for Bozburun. Bozburun is a quiet little fishing village. It used to be the centre of sponge fishing along the Turkish coast but nowadays people there earn their living in a much less dangerous way by building the typical broad beamed wooden boats called "gulets". For swimming and snorkelling around the underwater ruins in the bay, we'll stop first at Kizilada Island and then make fast at the village jetty for the night.

DAY 6:

We will start quite early in the morning, with a "sailing breakfast" being served when we are well under way. Our destination is the ancient harbour of Loryma on the south coast of Bozburun Peninsula. Loryma, with its impressive ruins and its turquoise water is very attractive.


DAY 7:

After a leisurely breakfast we'll set sail for Arab Island. Here we'll enjoy the sea thoroughly for the last time on this cruise. With the setting sun we'll enter Marmaris Harbour.

DAY 8:

Breakfast on board for the last time. Then it's goodbye until we meet again another time, for another cruise.
