Marmaris - Datca - Marmaris 8 Days / 7 Nights Itinerary

Day 1 : Marmaris

At 15:30, you are able to embark on the gulet which will serve as your residence for the rest of the week. Dinner will be served on the boat and then spend the night in Marmaris Port. You can explore the incredible Marmaris Castle, built-in 1577, and the Ottoman mosque, and the eight-room caravansary.

Day 2 : Marmaris to Bozukkale

It’s the beginning of the journey that you will take in Turkey. Following breakfast, we’ll travel toward Bozburun Peninsula. After lunch and a swim break, we’ll cruise towards Bozukkale and be staying the evening. The city that is historically significant in Loryma is home to a castle that has nine temples. Bozukkale is the name given to it. Bozukkale refers to the castle as crooked because one of the sides is not present.

Day 3 : Bozukkale to Datca

Following breakfast, we’ll travel by boat towards Datca and take a break and stock up on drinks and food as you walk around the port. Within the city, you can see the remains of theatres, temples as well as other structures. There’s no humidity in Datca as the air quality is clean. It is possible to explore Datca on your own or take part in an optional tour of the city.

The evening will include dinner, and stay in Datca or at a nearby beach.

Day 4 : Datca to Bencik Bay

Our cruise ship will sail until Aktur Bay after breakfast. When we eat lunch there, we’ll head to the northern part of the Gulf, making the first stop being Bencik Bay, which has an extremely narrow entry point, but an amazing view once you enter. Bencik is situated in the narrowest point of the peninsula which divides Hisaronu Gulf from the Gokova Gulf. Here we’ll take a meal and stay the night.

Day 5 : Bencik Bay to Orhaniye

Today we sail through the interior of Hisaronu Gulf. To eat lunch, we take a docking in Selimiye Bay before moving onto Orhaniye, which is where you are able to participate in the optional Jeep safari. Then, you could walk along the reddish sand until you reach the island in the bay to discover the remains of an old castle.

Our plan is to stay the night in Orhaniye.

Day 6 : Orhaniye to Bozburun

In the morning, we’ll take a trip towards Dirsekbuku. Following a brief stop, we’ll be heading to Bozburun, an unassuming fishing town which was formerly known for its spongy diving. However, it has become a peaceful spot to visit for Turkish Gullets to stop off to relax.

Bozburun is our final point of departure to finish the day.

Day 7 : Bozburun to Marmaris

This morning we’ll set sail for Kadirga or Kumlubuk Bay after breakfast. Then we will sail toward Cennet Island (Paradise) for an afternoon of swimming. In the evening, for our last night of fun together, we’ll return back to Marmaris Port. Make sure to take advantage of the chance to stroll the main streets in Marmaris and enjoy its infamous nightlife.
