Gulet description
Gokova bay gulet cruise
Gokova Bay gulet cruise is know also as original blue cruise; the first ever gulet route along the Turkish coast. Following the routes described in Cevat Şakir’s books, it will take you to discover the bays, pine forests, islets far from civilization including the 7 islands, Cleopatra’s island and Orak.
This is also the most sheltered part of the Turkish coast protected from strong winds by the continent on the north and from the Datca peninsula to the south. Almost total absence of wind and rough seas makes this itinerary perfect for gulet cruises in Turkiye.
Gokova Bay cruise is ideal for:
- those who prefer to spend the week of sun, sea and relax
- those who love nature and hidden bays
- who prefer to spend nights at anchor instead of ports
