Gocek is a favorite with international yachtsmen, who appreciate this fashionable, unspoiled town's first-rate facilities. Although easily accessible overland and just 22 km from an international airport, Gocek has determinedly maintained its exclusive status as Turkey's foremost harbour for discriminating Blue Cruise passengers.

In this cruise, we travel south from the rocky shores and hidden coves of the southern Aegean to the sandy beaches and Roman ruins of the Western Mediterranean. Along the way, we visit magical sites in both regions, including the super-salinated Oludeniz lagoon, Hellenistic, Roman and Medieval ruins, thriving former fishing towns and the submerged ancient city of Simena. Shore excursions are optional and may sometimes require a small fee for overland transport, guides or admission to archaeological sites.

As always, the star-filled skies, invigorating sea breezes, pine-covered hills and rays of golden sun playing among the sparkling waters of secluded bays are yours to luxuriate in. Relax, savor all the timeless pleasures sun and sea have to offer, and leave the rest to us. You've embarked on a Blue Cruise...
