After breakfast, we will cruise to Aktur Bay, where you can swim in the turquoise waters and relax on its sandy beach before enjoying a luxurious lunch onboard. In the afternoon, we’ll sail to Bencik Bay, nestled at the narrowest point of the peninsula between the Hisaronu and Gokova Gulfs. Enjoy the serenity of this secluded bay as we prepare an elegant dinner and settle in for the night.

In the morning, we anchor at Emel Sayin Bay for a relaxing swim stop.
