There are several interesting cruise routes, most routes start in Bodrum and Marmaris and explore the south coast.
Sailing along this coast gives you the possibility to discover and visit beaches and small bays. These places would be otherwise inaccessible by land. Also you can visit many marvellous sites that remained hidden and unknown for centuries.
South-East from the lively city of Bodrum, you can find the Gulf of Gokova. The Gulf of Gokova offers numerous and spectacular bays, which are famous as a natural wonder. The ruins of the ancient and famous town of Knidos are located at the very end of the Datca peninsula.
When you sail around Knidos you can set sail to Hisaronu Bay. This part of the Datca peninsula is an enchanting place because of its many bays and islands to explore and admire.
When you continue beyond Hissaronu you can find the lively tourist resort of Marmaris, famous for its numerous shops, bars, restaurants, night clubs, and a modern navy. In the bay of Ekincik located in the East of Marmaris is the famous beach where tortoises yearly go and lay their eggs.

A very interesting thing to do is the excursion along the Dalyan river and reach to the small town of Dalyan. You can leave the Turkish Gulet, when it’s anchored in Ekincik, and move to another smaller boat which will bring you there.
