Gulf of Gokova offers many isolated inlets and bays where the pine forest meets
the turquoise waters. It is possible to find that special private cove where you will be alone
with the nature. Mountains on the background make a splendid view.
Akbuk bay, hidden behind the forest, and Sedir Island with its gorgeous beach are
among the most beautiful stops along the way.
Knidos, the ancient Carian city is at the tip of the Gulf of Hisaronu adjacent to the
Gulf of Gokova. The city, a prosperous commercial center, had two harbours in both
of the gulfs, one Egean and the other Mediterranean. The remains of the temple,
and the theater overlooks the sea. This ancient city is not easily reachable by land.
The town of Datca a popular port and the ancient city of Loryma which can only be
reached by the sea are the highlights of the Gulf.
Marmaris bay is the next. This port was on the Anatolia-Rhodes-Egypt route centuries
ago.
Crusing towards the East, we reach the Dalyan bay, a natural preserve for sea turtles
Caretta Caretta. They lay their eggs in the sandy beaches of this delta. Following
the waterway inland you can see the mysterious Lycian tombs
carved in the rocky hills in the city of Caunos, an ancient Carian city.
Oludeniz (Blue Lagoon) is the next stop on our cruise. It
has one of the most beautiful beaches along the coast.
The sunken city of Kekova, eternal fire of the monster in Mount Tahtali (Olympos), home of the
Santa Clause (Saint Nicholas) are all in the final episode:
