Explore the pristine bays of the National Park. Your captain will choose the 3 most beautiful and calmest bays (such as Karasu, Icme, or Kavakli) based on daily weather conditions to ensure you have the best swimming experience.
UNEXPLORED BAYS OF THE NATIONAL PARK: We don't just take you to a beach; we take you to the edges of the Dilek Peninsula. Since these hidden gems like KARASU BAY, AFRODIT BAY, and SOGUKSU BAY are protected and not on standard maps, your experienced Captain will select the 3 BEST BAYS of the day based on the wind and water clarity.
- Crystal-clear snorkeling at Karasu.
- Pine trees meeting the turquoise sea at Afrodit.
- The refreshing natural spring waters of Soguksu.
While other boats are crowded in one spot, we use your local 'Authority' to find the most peaceful waters for your foam party and lunch.
