Day 5 Longoz (Kargili) Bay

Longoz has the most impressive bays in the Gulf of Gokova, descending down from the steep hills right into the sea save for the row of trees separating them from the waters.

If it's total calm you seek, this is the place for yacht charter Turkey, so just lie back, enjoy the gentle rocking of the yacht.

Day 6 Tuzla Bay, Kisebuku (Alakisla Buku)

One of the favorite spots for gulet tours is Tuzla. Tuzla is a wonderful little fisherman’s village that hugs the coast. It has become famous for its restaurants, and especially its seafood that is invariably caught the same day as it is served.

The shallow water attracts wading birds and other wildlife. It is indeed an area of great beauty that deserve everyone’s time

Day 7 Yaliciftlik, Papuc Burnu

All inclusive gulet cruise continues... About 30 kms away from the center of Bodrum lies the village of Yaliciftlik. This is a relatively “virgin” village passed over by tourism, so Yaliciftlik provides a real Turkish cultural environment unspoiled by by masses of tourists. It has a lovely beach which is relatively clear of bathers most of the time, and the village itself lives off farming, so is quite rural in style. Enjoy a lovely walk around this village, and a real Turkish meal, prepared locally for locals. The main style of food is of course seafood which is caught daily and is always freshly prepared.

Day 8 Bodrum

After an exceptional yacht charter voyage, you sail back to Bodrum and prepare for your flight home. This is a perfect time to visit this wonderful city and enjoy your last taste of Turkey. Bodrum is a jewel surrounded by golden sunsets and azure waters. Enjoy the delicious local cuisine, cultural attractions and visit the waterfront outside the famous Bodrum Castle, built from the stones of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. It houses an amazing underwater archeology museum and shouldn't be missed. You return home with wonderful memories and wonderful photos. Looking forward to seeing you on your next Simayachts gulet vacation!
