The round trip from Marmaris through the Hisarönü Gulf is one of the most rewarding gulet itineraries in Turkey. Over eight days and seven nights, you cruise past dramatic cliffs and secret coves, swim beneath ancient fortresses, visit the boat-building village of Bozburun and the picturesque harbour of Selimiye, and end with a touch of glamour at D-Maris Bay. The distances are short, the water is calm and clear, and every day brings a different landscape.
This route is perfect for families, couples and groups who want a mix of peaceful anchorages, authentic village life and a little luxury. As always on a private charter, the plan is flexible and your captain will adapt it to the wind and your wishes.
