Bodrum ↔ Gulf of Gokova | Fortuna Gulet

Wake up to the pristine beauty of the Gulf of Gokova. Following a rich, freshly prepared breakfast on deck, we set sail toward Bordubet Bay, a natural haven densely pine-clad right down to the water's edge, ideal for morning swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling in quiet isolation. Later in the day, we stop at Armonika Bay for a relaxing swim and lunch before continuing to Cati Bay. Tucked away from open sea swells, Cati Bay offers an exceptionally tranquil environment surrounded by lush forests, setting the stage for a spectacular sunset and a serene overnight stay anchored in nature.

Early in the morning, we navigate toward the famed Seven Islands region, starting at Kufre Bay. Celebrated for its natural lagoons, tiny islets, and solitary landscapes, this area is a paradise for nature lovers. We then anchor in Uzun Liman (Long Harbor), where guests can enjoy watersports such as kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding in mirror-like waters. In the afternoon, we cruise to Camli Bay, named after its surrounding pine trees (Çam). Here, you can immerse yourself in pure silence, read on deck, or enjoy a sunset that paints the Aegean sky in vivid shades of gold and purple.

Our morning begins at Longoz Bay, one of the most magnificent fjord-like enclaves in Gokova. Here, dense pine forests meet turquoise waters, offering woodland trails for a short trek onshore or refreshing swim stops. At noon, we cruise to Cicek (Flower) Island for a delightful lunch surrounded by colorful coastal vegetation. In the late afternoon, we navigate to English Harbour, a natural fjord steep in history, where British naval forces hid during World War II. Protected from all winds, this tranquil bay offers a serene backdrop for dinner and a quiet night. (Depending on conditions, Akbuk Bay may be planned as a scenic alternative).

We start the day at legendary Sedir (Cleopatra) Island, world-famous for its unique, golden oolitic sand and well-preserved Greco-Roman ruins, including an ancient amphitheater and the Temple of Apollo. Local myth holds that its sands were shipped directly from Egypt for Cleopatra herself. Later, we cruise past Karacasogut, a tranquil coastal village ideal for gentle shoreline walks, before heading toward Ballisu and Tuzla Bay. Isolated from daily tour crowds, Tuzla Bay provides a crystal-blue setting for an afternoon swim, woodland trekking, and an elegant evening dinner.

Gently waking in Cokertme Bay, a famous coastal village renowned for its charming seaside taverns and authentic ambiance, guests can take a short walk onshore before we sail toward Molla Ibrahim and Mazi Village. Nestled along one of the most pristine corners of the Aegean, Mazi offers untouched natural beauty and calm turquoise waters for swimming. By late afternoon, we drop anchor in Kissebuku (Church Bay), where you can swim ashore to explore fascinating Byzantine church ruins scattered right along the beach, followed by a gourmet dinner anchored in this historical cove.

At first light, we cruise toward Red Cape (Kizilburun) for an early morning swim, followed by a visit to Kara Ada (Black Island). Famous for its mineral-rich thermal springs and natural mud baths, this island offers a wonderfully rejuvenating experience. After breakfast, we head to Poyraz Bay on the island's northern slope, an exceptional spot for snorkeling due to its rock formations and vibrant marine life. Alternatively, dive into the 30-meter-deep blue waters of Meteor Hole. In the evening, we dock in Bodrum Harbor for a grand farewell dinner and our final overnight stay.

Following a final breakfast on board, disembarkation takes place in Bodrum Harbor at 09:00 AM. You will depart with cherished memories of the Gulf of Gokova, carrying the rejuvenating energy of the Aegean Coast as you transfer to Bodrum Airport or your next destination.
