Route

Day 1 - Saturday - Bodrum harbour

Transfer to the charming Bodrum harbor and board your Gulet sailing yacht in the afternoon. Your captain and crew will be waiting for you on board. Spend the first night on board in the Bodrum harbor or in a bay close by.

Day 2 - Sunday - Knidos

Leave Bodrum sailing across the Gulf of Gokova to the site of Knidos, the meeting point of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. Knidos is famous in antiquity for the cult of Aphrodite started there.

Situated at the end of the Datca peninsula, this Dorian city was built on terraces rising to the acropolis. Straddling the peninsula, it had a harbour on either side, and flourished during the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods. The site was excavated in 1857 by C. T. Newton and from 1967 by Iris Love.

Famous as a center of art and culture in the fourth century BC, Knidos was established at the same time that Halicarnassus was, as one of the six Dorian colonies in Asia Minor. It seems to have kept a purer Greek character, no doubt because it set its sights seaward and had little contact with the interior.

Around 360 BC, the city was rebuilt at the windblown tip of the peninsula, banking on the fact that a good harbour at the outer corner of Asia Minor would become a popular calling-port for ships on the Aegean - East Mediterranean transit routes. The rocky island facing the shore at the new site was joined to the mainland with a causeway, creating two deep harbours on either side of the isthmus: one on the Aegean and the other on the Mediterranean.

The island section held the residential quarters, a series of colonnaded walkways rose in tiers on the land. Two large theatres, an odeon and three temples completed what must have been a striking ensemble in the midst of a desolate crag.

The remains of a circular temple dedicated to the goddess of love Aphrodite overlook remains of the two harbours: the arcaded way was built of white marble heart - shaped columns. The legendary Aphrodite of Praxiteles statue, reputedly one of the most beautiful sculptures of the antiquity, once graced this temple. The city was renowned as one of the most beautiful in ancient Greece. In the early evening moor near the idyllic Kargi Bay.

Day 3 - Monday - Eski Datca - Bencik - Selimiye

Early morning set sail to picturesque resort of Datça. Enjoy a stroll through town, offering some lovely shopping and cafés. Renowned for its natural beauty and climate, this town provides a window into the life of rural Turkey of 50 to 100 years ago. Village life is still based on agriculture, fishing, and the building of the gullet or Gulet (the traditional 2-masted Turkish wooden sailing vessel). Pine, oak, and myrtle filled mountains plunge down to a serene beach and two natural harbours.

Bencik Bay resembles a miniature fjord.The inlet extends inland about 1,5 nautical miles and has steep wooded slopes on either side. Bencik is located at the narrowest part of the peninsula.

Sail to Orhaniye Bay. Afterwards cruise into the wide Bay of Selimiye, one of the safest natural harbors of the Gulf of Hisaronu. Surrounded by magnificent called Sardunya, which serves delicious starters using organic vegetables and herbs.

Day 4 - Tueday - Bozburun & Bozukkale

Sail into the Gulf of Hisaronu for re-entering Turkey in the fishing village of Bozburun. It is used to be the center of sponge diving along the Turkish coast, but nowadays locals here earn their living in a much less dangerous way by building the typical broad-beamed wooden gullets.Depart for the Bay of Bozukkale, which means ‘broken castle’ as one side of the castle is missing. The entrance to the bay is guarded by an ancient citadel 350 meters long and 30 meters wide. In ancient times it was known as the city of Loryma and throughout history this port was used bythe Greek navy forces during Peloponnese Sea. The Colossus, at nearby Rhodes, was built to celebrate the defeat of Antigonus’ invasion force in 305 B.C. It was in Bozukkale Bay that the invasion fleet was assembled.

Day 5 - Ekincik - Dalyan

Day 6 - Thursday - Aga Limani

Sail early morning to the Bay of Aga Limani, the ancient Lydae. An uphill hike leads you to an awesome view and Byzantine ruins. The ancient Ladae requires a 30 minutes uphill hike, and is off the beaten path and rarely visited. Lydae features among other: tombs, a basilica, protective walls, cisterns, Corinthian column parts, and inscribed pedestals from the Roman and Byzantine periods as well as vaulted Carian rock tombs in two level dating from the 5th or 4th century BC. Cleopatra was here, as well, pausing in 46 BC to beach her galleys and rest her oarsmen while en route to Rome at age 23 to plead Egypt's case before the Senate.
