This Gökova gulet cruise is for travellers who want a week of quiet, pine-fringed bays close to Bodrum: you book a cabin on a high-luxury gulet and sail 8 days and 7 nights from Bodrum and back. The route explores the Gulf of Gökova, from Orak Island and the Seven Islands to English Harbour, Sedir Island and the village of Çökertme.
You choose between Master and Superior cabins; air conditioning, daily housekeeping and Wi-Fi are free on board. A full-board luxury menu, soft drinks, water, bath and beach towels, linen and a welcome cocktail with champagne are included.
The pace is slow: canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding at Uzun Liman, short walks at Longoz Bay and Karacasöğüt, Cleopatra’s golden-sand beach on Sedir Island, Byzantine ruins at Kissebükü and a swim at the Meteor Hole near Kara Ada before a farewell dinner in Bodrum harbour.
