Join us for an unforgettable daily boat tour departing from Akyaka, offering a full day of sun, sea, and relaxation. Discover secluded bays, crystal-clear waters, and historical wonders in one of Turkey’s most beautiful coastal areas. This tour is ideal for travelers looking to enjoy swimming, sightseeing, and soaking up the serene beauty of the Aegean coast.
We begin our day around 10:00 AM at Akyaka Harbor, where our friendly crew will greet you and guide you onto the boat. Our boats are designed for your comfort, featuring two levels:
• The upper deck provides sunbathing areas with comfortable loungers, perfect for those who want to soak up the sun.
• The lower deck offers shaded seating areas, bathrooms, and freshwater showers to ensure your day is as comfortable as possible.
Once everyone is settled in, we set sail from the harbor, leaving the shore behind and heading into the clear turquoise waters of the Gulf of Gökova.
Our first destination is Tavşan Adası, also known as Rabbit Island, a small and picturesque spot surrounded by crystal-clear water. This area is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the boat and enjoying the view. With a swim break of approximately 30–40 minutes, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the sea or take beautiful photos of the island’s natural beauty.
Next, we head to Zeytinli Bay, another hidden gem along the Aegean coast. Known for its calm, sparkling waters and lush surroundings, Zeytinli Bay provides the perfect setting for a refreshing swim. You’ll have another 40-minute break here to relax, swim, or sunbathe on the deck while enjoying the serene and peaceful atmosphere of this beautiful bay.
After exploring these stunning locations, it’s time to recharge with a delicious lunch served on the boat. The meal includes:
• Grilled chicken
• Fresh salad
• Pasta
Lunch is included in the tour price, offering a simple but satisfying meal to keep you energized for the rest of the day. Please note that beverages are not included and can be purchased separately on board.
After lunch, we sail to the famous Cleopatra Island (Sedir Island), the highlight of our boat tour. Known for its unique golden sand and historical significance, Cleopatra Island is a must-visit destination. According to legend, the sand on this beach was brought from Egypt by Mark Antony as a gift for Queen Cleopatra. The sand is extremely fine and unlike any other sand in the world, making it a protected natural wonder.
Visitors will have approximately 2 hours to explore the island. You can relax on the stunning beach, swim in the clear waters, or walk among the ancient ruins, including remnants of a Roman theater and city walls. Your guide will provide details about the island’s fascinating history, ensuring you get the most out of your visit.
Please note that the entrance fee to Cleopatra Island is not included in the tour price. Guests will need to purchase their tickets at the entrance before exploring the island.
After a day filled with swimming, sunbathing, and exploration, we leave Kleopatra Island and sail back toward Akyaka Harbor. Enjoy the relaxing return journey as you take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding coast. We aim to arrive back at the harbor in the late afternoon, around 4:30–5:00 PM, where the tour concludes. This Akyaka Boat Tour is the perfect way to spend a relaxing day surrounded by natural beauty and historical charm. Whether you’re swimming in clear blue waters, sunbathing on the deck, or discovering the wonders of Kleopatra Island, this tour guarantees a day full of unforgettable moments.
