Bodrum-Gokova-Bodrum Cruise

Bodrum-Gokova-Bodrum Cruise

 
  

Bodrum – Gökova – Bodrum | 8 Days / 7 Nights -  Luxury Gulet Fortuna or Parss

This relaxing Blue Cruise begins and ends in Bodrum and follows the beautiful coastline of the Gulf of Gökova. The route combines peaceful bays, pine-covered landscapes and small coastal villages with time to swim, explore and simply enjoy life at sea. Along the way you will visit secluded anchorages such as Orak Island, Longoz Bay and the Seven Islands region, as well as historical highlights including Cleopatra Island and the ruins of Kissebükü. The journey is unhurried, giving you time to enjoy the water, the scenery and the friendly atmosphere onboard. Your crew will guide you to the best swimming spots each day while your chef prepares fresh meals throughout the voyage. Whether you prefer paddle boarding, snorkelling or relaxing on deck with a book, the rhythm of the cruise naturally adapts to you.


Day 1 – Bodrum → Pabuç Burnu → Orak Island

Boarding begins at 16:00 in Bodrum harbour. After a welcome drink and cruise briefing, we set sail along the Bodrum peninsula. Our first swim stop is at Pabuç Burnu, a quiet bay with clear waters — the perfect introduction to the week ahead. In the evening we anchor at Orak Island, known for its striking turquoise sea and peaceful surroundings. Dinner and overnight stay here.


Day 2 – Çökertme → Armonika Bay → Çatı Bay

We wake in the Gulf of Gökova and cruise towards Çökertme Bay, surrounded by forested hills and calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Later we continue to Armonika Bay before anchoring at Çatı Bay for the evening. This sheltered bay offers a beautiful sunset and a quiet overnight stay.


Day 3 – Seven Islands → Uzun Liman → Çamlı Bay

Early sailing brings us into the Seven Islands region, famous for its small coves and lagoon-like waters. After a swim stop at Küfre Bay we anchor in Uzun Liman where water sports are available. In the afternoon we continue to Çamlı Bay, surrounded by pine trees and natural silence — a favourite stop for relaxing on deck.


Day 4 – Longoz Bay → Çiçek Island → English Harbour

Today we cruise to Longoz Bay, one of the most scenic parts of Gökova. A short walk ashore reveals forest paths and a small local market. After lunch at Çiçek Island we head to English Harbour, a naturally protected inlet once used as a shelter during World War II. Depending on sea conditions, the captain may alternatively choose nearby Akbük Bay. Overnight at anchor.


Day 5 – Cleopatra Island → Karaca Söğüt → Ballısu → Tuzla

We visit the famous Cleopatra (Sedir) Island, known for its unique golden sand and ancient ruins. You may walk among the remains of the ancient city or swim in the legendary bay. Later we stop at the quiet village of Karaca Söğüt before continuing to the peaceful bays of Ballısu and Tuzla — perfect for swimming away from crowds.


Day 6 – Çökertme → Molla İbrahim → Mazı → Kissebükü

Morning in Çökertme, a small fishing village where you can stroll ashore. We then cruise to Molla İbrahim Bay for swimming before stopping near Mazı village, one of the hidden corners of the Aegean coast. The day ends in Kissebükü where Byzantine ruins lie just behind the shoreline.


Day 7 – Kızılburun → Karaada → Bodrum

After an early swim at Kızılburun we visit Karaada (Black Island), famous for its mineral springs and mud baths. In the afternoon we return to Bodrum harbour. Enjoy a final evening onboard with a farewell dinner and the chance to explore the town by night.

I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson  - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended.
