Bodrum: Bays & Ancient Ruins Itinerary

Bodrum: Bays & Ancient Ruins Yacht Charter
A week round trip from Bodrum through the best of the nearby Turquoise Coast, from rustic Bozburun to the golden sand of Cleopatra Island. This route packs pine-clad bays, ancient ruins and clear water into an easy loop. Expect crusader castles and Lycian tombs, quaint villages and hidden coves, a relaxed and rewarding Turkish voyage.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
