What to Expect

Your adventure begins with a short, comfortable bus transfer to a charming port where a traditional Turkish wooden boat awaits. This classic boat offers ample space for sunbathing on the upper deck and shaded tables below. As we cruise through Gokova Bay, you'll enjoy stops at breathtaking spots such as Gelibodu Island, famous for its underwater caves, and Incekum Beach, known for its incredibly soft sand.

Spend three hours exploring this historical gem, visiting the ancient city of Kedrai, swimming, and sunbathing. Wander the stone path to marvel at the well-preserved Roman amphitheatre, the remains of the Apollo Temple, and the ancient city walls. The Agora features heart-shaped stones and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. This relaxing and captivating cruise is perfect for all ages, making it an ideal excursion for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
