Turkey July Gulet Cruise w/Meals & Flights

BLUE CRUISE ITINERARY:

Day 1 (Monday): Bodrum

Your crew welcome you to Bodrum for dinner on board and your first night afloat.
(Please note that guests with night flights will arrive in the early hours of day 2.)

Day 2: Bodrum-Kufre

Leaving Bodrum after breakfast and a welcome get-together, you may find yourself visiting the deserted island of Orak and the waters around the Seven Islands. The natural harbour at Kufre is your mooring for the night.

Day 3: Kufre-English Harbour

After breakfasting against the backdrop of Seven Islands, cruise northwards. You might like to stop at the small town of Tuzla for lunch en route to the peaceful, sheltered waters of English Harbour.

Day 4: English Harbour-Sogut

You could cruise to Cleopatra's Island for lunch on the way to Sogut, the small fishing village where you'll moor tonight.

Day 5: Sogut-Longoz Bay

Cruise out of Sogut towards Ballisu Bay, where you might like to stop for lunch, and on to pine-forested Longoz Bay where you'll spend the night.

Day 6: Longoz Bay-Alakisla Buku

Surrounded by hills and mountains, the setting of Cokertime Bay provides a pleasant option for lunch en route to tonight's mooring at Alakisla Buku, of interest for its Byzantine ruins.

Day 7: Alakisla Buku-Bodrum

During your last day at sea, you could stop for lunch and a swim in Taysan Bay. Reaching Bodrum Harbour, you might well have time to explore the town before dinner, and could spend the evening enjoying the bars and discos before a final night on board.
