Bodrum to Gokova and Hisaronu Blue Cruise Tour

We’re leaving Bodrum to start the trip with something exciting, so we’re going to the Gulf of Hisaronu and then to Kos. It can be a great way to get excited about all the beautiful secrets that are still to come.

Think of Odysseus and look down into the clear blue sea as your boat sails over the horizon. It used to be Neptune’s yard, but now it is your pasture.

Orak Island

It is an island that is part of the district of Bodrum. It is in the eastern part of the district of Bodrum. It is about 16 kilometers away from Bodrum on average. It looks like a knife where the island ends. Because of this, Orak Island got its name from it.

As one of the most important blue cruise lines in Bodrum, it attracts tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world each year. It is also one of the first choices for people who know how to dive well. On the island, the sea is blue. It is called the Maldives of Bodrum because of this. It looks like glass at the bottom of the sea.

The sea is clear and has bays that look like aquariums. It is a good place to swim and dive. Because the water around the island is clean, it is easy to see the bottom of the sea. So, you can see the things that live in the sea.

It shows why Sickle Island is so popular with people who like to dive. Divers and people who come to this island with boats like how clean and clear the water is. Blue Tour guests and boats that go to Orak Island say you might see Caretta Caretta turtles there.

Çökertme

Bodrum is where boats and gulets start or end a blue tour. With its calm, the bay is a place where a person’s soul can rest. Since Çökertme Bay has been made a special protection zone, no building is allowed there.

This beauty also affects the visitors who come here with their boats and boat anchors to stay and take in the bay’s and beach’s beauty. As you soak up the sun on its beach, your soul can feel at peace. You could swim more easily in a calm, stable sea.

West and north of Çökertme Bay, there are two small beaches. The beach on the west side isn’t as deep. Its depth is between 5 and 15 meters. East of the bay, there is a beach with a pier next to it. From here, you can jump.

Mountains, a stunning sea, boats on the horizon, a single row of low-rise hostels, and on-land restaurants all surround the bay. We are not used to seeing places this quiet in our country.

When people go to Çökertme Bay, they tie up their boats to piers, get into the water in a calm and peaceful way, and enjoy the beautiful nature.

Long Port

On the east and south sides of the cape, there are beautiful beaches where you can get into the water. The other islands are small and long. They all have hills, but none of them have beaches. One of the most beautiful places to go scuba diving is there.

There is a lot of life underwater. Because of this, these islands are especially popular with people who like to dive. On top of that, you can sail on the islands or walk through pine-treed areas where you can see the beauty of nature.

English Harbor

In the Gulf of Gokova on the Bodrum-Datca Peninsula is a place called English Bay. It looks like a paradise with its lush pine woods. It is so protected that the rough Gulf of Gokova waves never reach here. Because of this, it is the safest place for blue-tour boats to stay.

The bay doesn’t change at all because of the weather. So, it is the best place to go if you want to spend your vacation by the sea and in nature because of its beautiful scenery. English Bay, which is also called English Harbour, got its name for a reason.

The bay is so safe that during the Second World War, a British Navy ship that got away from the German Navy could hide here for several months.

It’s as quiet as you want; it’s a great place to go, relax, and watch the day go by as the boat gently rocks back and forth. We’re going to anchor in Balli Su for dinner and the night.

Tuzla Bay, which is in the Gulf of Gokova and has a beautiful view of the sea, is one of the best places in the area to get into the water and go on a blue trip among the decks. From west to east, the 2.5-mile-wide bay runs along a beautiful coast.
