  • Palamutbuku – Inceburun

    Early in the morning, we start the cruise to Palamutbuku Bay. We will anchor in Ýnce Burun after

  • Aktur – Bencik

Bencik is located at the narrowest part of the peninsula that divides Hisaronu Gulf from the Gokova Gulf but it is located at Hisaronu side.

    In 550s B.C. the Cnidus people wanted to dig a tunnel in the narrowest land piece of the peninsula between the Hisaronu Gulf and the Gokova Gulf as a defence line against the Persians. That way they would make two peninsulas one island and the defence easier.

    They started with diligence and put a lot of effort; however, in the end, they could not manage and the city was conquered by the Persians. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Bencik Bay.

    small fishing town. This area was popular and suitable for sponge-diving but nowadays the people of the island are no more interested in sponge-diving as it is not financially beneficial and is dangerous.

    In recent years sponge-diving is replaced by gulet tourism and Bozburun Gulets nowadays could take its place in this sector.

     

  • Datca – Knidos

    Kalymnos Island is best known as the island of some of the world’s finest sponge divers. Although Kalymnos is a developing tourist centre, you can still see the sponge fishermen at work even today and you can still experience the islanders’ traditional way of life.On this beautiful island of Kalymnos in the Dodecanese, you can take nice walks, swim in beautiful caves, and discover lovely beaches and unspoiled scenery, an example of which is the authentic village of Vathi hidden in a beautiful green valley.

    Due to its mountainous landscape, Kalymnos is also one of the best places to practice mountain climbing! Also, most of the beaches of Kalymnos are equipped with water sports facilities. The wonderful sunsets over the tiny island Telendos are not to be missed – they are on par with those of Santorini!

     

  • Turgutreis – Karaincir

    We will cruise to Datca. Food and water will be supplied to the boat from Datca Harbour. The city was founded by the Dors who came from the Aegean Sea to the southern coast of Ionia in the 7th century B.C. The island has no humidity at all and has fresh air with plenty of oxygen. The historian Strabo has a rightful saying about Datca’s weather: God would send his beloved
    servants to Datca to live longer.

    According to a myth, while the Spanish pirates were passing by the coast of Datca, they disembarked people with Hansen’s disease in Sariliman Bay and these abandoned people recovered from their disease with the help of the clean weather of Datca. You may take a walk in Datca Harbour. We will cruise to Cnidus for dinner and overnight stay. Cnidus was a developed city in science, art and architecture.

Dr. Euryphon and his students founded the second largest medical sciences school in the Cnidus.

    The island also homes the largest sun clock of its time which was erected by Eudoksos. Cnidus was the home for Aphrodite’s monument and at those times the city was famous for brothels and became popular for sailors and Arabic tradesmen. You may take a walk on the shore to see the ruins.
