Marmaris and the surrounding area are great for what is known as a “Blue Cruise”, where you travel along the sparkling blue Aegean and Mediterranean shorelines in fully-staffed, traditional Turkish wooden boats called gulets. You can get together with friends and family to hire one, or charter a cabin along with other people and make new friends. Usually planned as a week-long trip, Blue Cruise voyages always come with the best dawns and sunsets, best photographs, best fish, and the best time ever! Not only will you be able to study the sites and remnants of ancient civilizations, but also reach pristine beaches and charming islands inaccessible by land, and visit bustling bazaars in sun-drenched towns along the route. As the captain guides you along the jagged coast, the staff will do their best to serve you; meals will be prepared daily onboard, including various fresh salads, fruits, grilled meats, seafood, local fish, and Turkish specialties. Basically, all you need to do is eat, drink, swim, sleep, and relax!
