Set off from Marmaris aboard the Belgin Sultan to explore the unique bays of the Gulf of Hisarönü and the peaceful shores of the Datça Peninsula. The journey begins with quiet coves like İçmeler and Turunç—perfect for a gentle start to your blue cruise.
Next comes Bozukkale, a bay known for its historical significance, narrow harbor entrance, and ancient ruins. Once a naval base in antiquity, this protected spot also offers crystal-clear waters for swimming.
The route continues to Datça, a peninsula renowned for its oxygen-rich air and peaceful atmosphere—well-deserving of the famous quote by Strabo: “God sends those he loves to Datça for a long life.” You can also take a short trip to the ancient city of Knidos to blend history with nature.
Further along the route, Aktur and Bencik bays provide postcard-perfect scenery where forest and sea embrace. Selimiye and Orhaniye offer the calm of traditional coastal villages, enriched by the mystic ambiance of the “Kızkumu” sandbar.
Bozburun is a unique Aegean town with a history that spans from sponge diving to gulet construction. Afterward, the route extends to hidden gems near Marmaris such as Kadırga Bay and Paradise Island. This unforgettable journey concludes back at Marmaris Harbor.
