Cycling Cruise Gulf of Gokova Round Trip from Bodrum 7nts (Fridays)

Individual arrival to Bodrum harbour. A collective transfer from Bodrum Airport to the harbour is available for an extra cost on request. Check in on the Gullet begins at 4 pm. In the evening, a shared dinner on board can be enjoyed in the company of your travel companions and tour guides.

After breakfast we raise the anchor for a short cruise to Yaliciftlik. From here we start our first bike ride through the local pine forests to Camlik where we will have the chance to refresh ourselves with a short coffee break. We continue cycling through silver-green olive groves to the small village of Etrim. Ancestors of the Turkmen tribes continue to live semi-nomadic lives in the region. We can marvel at their fascinating hand crafts and during a lunch break at a local restaurant we can discover some local cuisine. After lunch we return to Yaliciftlik where we can enjoy a swim in the afternoon at the nearby beach, followed by dinner on board. Overnight stay in Yaliciftlik. Approx. 38 km.

From Yaliciftlik, our bike tour takes us inland through the scenic natural landscape before we head back to Mazi on the coast. Here, our ship awaits us for lunch on board. We relax for the two and a half hours crossing to Akbuk, a charming little harbour where we can enjoy the afternoon swimming. Dinner on board and overnight in Akbuk. Approx. 41 km.

In the morning, a shuttle takes us from Akbuk to the charming mountain village of Sarnickoy. The bike tour leads us to the neighbouring village of Akyaka, where we can stop to admire the ancient rock tombs. This picturesque village is characterized by its pseudo-Seljuk-Ottoman architecture with impressive wooden elements, unique to Turkey. This unique piece was designed by award-winning architect Nail Cakirhan. A short stroll through the village is well worthwhile. Dinner on board and overnight in Akyaka. Approx. 31 km.

A round trip by bike around Akyaka takes us inland, away from the coast. On the way we enjoy an abundance of nature and the solitude of this landscape before returning to Akyaka for lunch. Afterwards, we head to the picturesque Camli bay, where we can take a refreshing swim. Dinner on board and overnight in Camli. Approx. 34 km.

Today's bike tour takes us from Camli through small villages and fragrant pine forests to the picturesque English Bay. In this beautiful bay there will be plenty of time to swim to your heart's content. After the bike ride, we have one and a half hours to relax on board and enjoy the sun and the salty sea air while we cruise to Yedi Adalar (Seven Islands). Dinner on board and overnight on anchor. Approx. 20 km.

The morning crossing takes us to Kormen on the Datca Peninsula, which we explore by bike. A first ascent leads us to a height of 450 m/1.480 ft, before we get to enjoy the descent back to the sea with a beautiful view over the Greek islands Nisyros, Tilos and Rhodes. The path leads us on a scenic road along the coast before entering the suburban outskirts of Knidos. After a visit to the impressive archaeological site, we spend the night in one of the most picturesque bays on the Turkish coast. Approx. 42 km.

After breakfast on board, we get to enjoy the sea air one last time on the crossing back to Bodrum. Once in Bodrum, it is time to say goodbye to your ship, the crew, and tour guides. Check-out and (if any) transfer to the airport and individual travel back home or extension of your holiday in Turkey.
