Wave goodbye to the Turkish harbourside, it's time to get salty! Our first voyage at sea this morning will take us from the arms of Bodrum and into the pristine Gulf of Gokova.The journey to Cokertme will be almost as good as the destination, with time to chill on the...
When the sun comes up this morning we’ll be the first on the water, cruising before breakfast to the picture-perfect Seven Islands.Here at the Seven Islands, our first stop will be pretty Kufre Bay, where you’ll be free to float in the azure sea or roam the lush pine ...
