Cruise Areas in Turkey

Cleopatra Island

Beginning with the ancient town of Halicarnassus, which is now Bodrum, the shoreline provides a variety of coves and historical attractions such as Cleopatra Island, English Harbour, and the Dorian city of Knidos (for which Praxiteles created his masterpiece, the Aphrodite statue). Many yachtsmen, enthralled by the soft, consistent meltemi breeze, continue south to Marmaris, the so-called “pearl” of the Turkish coast.

Gulf of Fethiye

The beautiful coastline continues south till it reaches the Gulf of Fethiye. The magnificent Kaunos City and the turtle beach of Dalyan are located halfway between Fethiye and Marmaris. Once on the Gulf of Fethiye, you will find a private hideaway in one of the many bays, much as Cleopatra and Antonious did. On your southeastward journey, the lovely cities of Göcek and Fethiye, as well as the famous tomb of Amyntas, serve as signs of things to come. The areas are encompassed in the best blue cruise Turkey.

Gemiler Island

While traveling from Fethiye to the well-known Dead Sea (lü Deniz), you’ll pass across a historic Lycian harbour and Byzantine settlement named Gemiler Island, as well as the old Greek ghost town of Kayaköy. From there, the traditional coastal towns of Kalkan and Kaş will provide numerous historical and natural gems. Letoon, Xanthos, Pnara, and Patara are some of the other ancient Lycian cities. On your trip from Kaş to Finike, Turkey’s biggest citrus producer, you’ll pass via Kekova, another major Lycian area.
