Turkey's Gulf of Gökova is an astoundingly under hyped holiday destination. Endearing seaside towns, mountain backdrops and private coves with shimmering blue sea are being totally missed by the masses. Which makes it perfect for us to explore. Picture yourself aboard a traditional Turkish gulet boat, eating home cooked meals and lapping up sunshine between snorkels.
- Spend a week in the sun on board a traditional gulet boat
- Drift around remote islands and forgotten beaches
- Pamper yourself at a Hammam spa
- Snorkel, swim or float in crystal clear waters
- Sleep under the turkish stars

Itinerary
Day 1 Bodrum
Getting straight down to business, this show kicks off in the coastal town of Bodrum within the nest of a traditional Turkish gulet. A gulet is a sailing boat, which looks like it's straight out of Instagram. This will be perfect for lots of boat jumping during our swim stops. After you've settled in and enjoyed a pow-wow over dinner, you're free to check out Bodrum's great nightlife.
Day 2 Bodrum to Cokertme
Your first journey at sea this morning will take you into the pristine Gulf of Gokova. The drift to Cokertme just can't be done without a stop on Orak Island. Bikini up and get ready to soak up some sunshine and saltwater - the ocean here is crystal clear.
Day 3 Cokertme to Ayinda Bay
After indulging in the azure waters of Küfre Bay, it will be onto the postcard perfect Seven Islands. Here you’ll be free to roam the forests and swim with sea critters, stopping only for lunch aboard our boat. Tonight you’ll stay in Ayinda Bay; grab some dinner and hike up a hill to see the sunset.
Day 4 Ayinda Bay to English Harbour
Enjoy your breakfast at leisure this morning before you set sail for Sedir (Cleopatra) Island, famous for its golden sandy beach. Later, this afternoon you’ll anchor in the shimmering blue bay of Karacasogut, enjoy dinner and an evening on board before more exploring tomorrow.
Day 5 English Harbour to Tuzla Bay
Start your day with swim backdropped by forests of pine and rhododendrons before you cruise onwards to Longoz Bay. Spend the day soaking up sun and pristine ocean before anchoring at Tuzla Bay for dinner and a night sleeping under the Turkish stars.
Day 6 Tuzla Bay to Kisebuku
Enjoy breakfast in the bay and time to relax on board this morning before continuing our journey to Kisebuku.
Day 7 Kisebuku to Bodrum
Today, sail to the village of Yaliciftlik where traditional Turkish carpets and foods are produced. After absorbing the artisan side of the country you’ll sail back to Bodrum for your last night with the group, enjoying party time or a Hammam spa to unwind.
