For those yearning to explore this breathtaking region, Bodrum serves as the gateway to Gokova Bay. From this unique coastal town we are offering two fantastic options for gulet cruises—each promising a unique experience on the water.
Two Unique Cruise Options
Travelers can choose between two distinct types of gulet cruises: the Gokova Bay Bodrum Standard Weekly Cruise and the Gokova Bay Deluxe Cruise from Bodrum aboard the luxurious 16-cabin Boreas yacht. Each option provides an opportunity to explore the same beautiful coastline but caters to different preferences and budgets.
Gokova Bay Standard Weekly Cruise from Bodrum
The Standard Weekly Cruise is an excellent option for those wanting an authentic and leisurely experience at a more accessible price point. This option typically departs every Saturday from Bodrum and lasts for a full week. A week of total relax allowing guests ample time to immerse themselves in the region’s beauty.
During this cruise, travelers will visit several enchanting spots within Gokova Bay, including:
– Orak Island: Known for its stunning turquoise waters, Orak Island is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply basking in the sun. The surrounding scenery provides a backdrop that feels almost surreal.
