CLEOPATRA ISLAND - Gökova Mini Cruise
Sample the highlights of the famous blue voyage cruise in just 1 day. Relax as we take you by hydrofoil from Bodrum to the picturesque little harbour of Gelibolu on the Far Eastern shore of the Gulf of Gökova. Then soak up the sun and the sights on a traditional Turkish wooden gulet as we leisurely cruise you around the coastline of Gökova visiting the famous English Harbour

and Cleopatra Island. Swim in the crystal clear waters then relax on board while the crew serve you with mouthwatering lunch. Late afternoon relaxed and tanned, board our comfortable hydrofoil for your fast journey (approximately 1 hour 15 mins.) back to Bodrum Harbour.

DALYAN (CAUNUS)
Our hydrofoil will whisk you across the Gulf of Gökova to the picturesque harbour of Gelibolu. Then relax and enjoy the luscious green countryside and forests as we take you on a 20 minute coach ride to Marmaris, where we once again board one of our comfortable hydrofoils to speed you to Dalyan in just 35 minutes. Once at Dalyan soak up the sun on turtle beach - now a

conservation area for the breeding place of the near extinct loggerhead turtle - or join one of the riverboats and enjoy a leisurely cruise up the Dalyan river through the reeds and tranquility, spooting the wildlife as you cruise by. Enjoy a fish lunch at one of the riverside tavernas. Then cruise a little further and you will discover the natural Dalyan mudbaths where you can wallow and bake in the sun while the mud works to make you look ten years younger!

DALYAN TRIPS INCLUDES Hydrofoil + bus transfer + lunch + motor trips.


DATÇA
The picturesque small town of Datça lies on the South coast of The peninsula tipped by the site of ancient Knidos. Your 50 mnute trip by Bodrum Express Lines will take you into the Gulf of Gökova where you will disembark at the little harbour of Körmen for a short overland ride to Datça. Some authorities have claimed that the original site of the city of Knidos was just
outside Datça, but although recent excavations tend to dispute this assertion there indeed was an ancient city situated nearby and this site can be visited. The tiny harbour and the waterfront of Datça are very lively with summer visitors, but the main attraction of the town is in its pre-served pre-tourist village-like character and its clean beaches.
