Day 1: Marmaris

Boarding by 15.30 at Marmaris Marina. You will have time for visiting the old town and bazaar of Marmaris with its narrow streets and hundreds of shops, bars and restaurants. The castle of Marmaris lies on the old town hill and offers a beautiful view across the harbour. Dinner and overnight stay will be in Marmaris.

Day 2: Arap Island - Bozukkale

After breakfast you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and your boat. We set sail to Arap Island where lunch will be served, then cruise to Bozukkale, known as Loryma in ancient times. Bozukkale means 'Crooked Castle' and this name is given to the castle because one of its sides is missing. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Bozukkale.

Day 3: Datca

We anchor at Datca Harbour after breakfast. Datca is a small harbour town that dates back to Dorian times and it is the nearest place to the ancient city of Knidos which lies at the west end of the peninsula - you may visit on an optional excursion. We will anchor in a pretty nearby bay called Kargi for a swimming stop. In the evening you will have free time to visit Datca with its lovely little streets and charming harbour.

Day 4: Aktur - Bencik

We will cruise to Aktur for a swimming stop then set sail to Bencik which has a narrow entrance but a unique view. Bencik is located at the narrowest part of the Datca Peninsula that divides the Hisaronu Gulf from the Gokova Gulf. You should take the short walk up to the top of the hill in Bencik for the fantastic views of these two gulfs. In 550 B.C. the people of Knidos wanted to dig a channel in Bencik, the narrowest point along the peninsula, to effectively make Datca an island as a defence against the Persians. However, in the end they could not manage to do this and the city was conquered by the Persians.

Day 5: Orhaniye - Selimiye - Koca Island

We will cruise into the Gulf of Hisaronu and anchor in Orhaniye where you can see the natural tidal formation called Kiz Kumu (Maiden’s Beach) and the wrecks of an antique castle located on a tiny island in the bay. Here, you may join an optional jeep safari which brings you to the colourful little villages in the mountains and to the waterfall of Turgut Village. We will cruise towards Selimiye and anchor around Koca Island for the overnight stay.

Day 6: Dirsekbuku - Bozburun

We anchor in Dirsekbuku bay for a swimming stop where blue and green meet in perfect harmony. Then we will go to Bozburun which is a small fishing town. Overnight in a nice bay around Bozburun.

Day 7: Kadirga or Kumlubuk - Cennet Island - Marmaris

After breakfast departure for Kadirga or Kumlubuk bay which lies within sight of Marmaris but is cut off from it by a forbidding set of limestone mountains. You will have lunch in a nice bay on Cennet Island. Overnight stay in Marmaris Harbour.

Our flight was delayed and I received contact from Oguzhan and Rica telling me that they had arrange later pick up from the airport when arriving in Turkey. Mustafa our driver was warm and friendly throughout our stay .The transfer and 3 day tours were fantastic , Our guide was really knowledgeable and looked after us while we toured this remarkable place The highlight was the Balloon ride in the morning a truly magical experience . 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.
