Tersane Island
Tersane Island is the largest island in the Gulf of Gocek and one of the most significant historical stops on blue cruise itineraries. Named after the old shipyards used during the Ottoman period, the area offers yacht charter enthusiasts the chance to swim among ancient ruins. Known for its sheltered harbor, nature covered with olive trees, and high sea quality, the island is a unique anchorage point for both history buffs and sailors seeking serenity. Local establishments on the shoreline provide guests with dinners prepared with fresh products in a historical atmosphere.

Captain's Note
“Walk to the top of the hill at sunset; seeing the ghost village of Tersane bathed in orange light is a memory that stays in your soul forever.
