Your choice of itinerary from among the ports between Bodrum and Antalya will depend upon the number of days, pace, seasonal winds and taste.

It is advised not to try covering more than 25 miles a day if you are looking for a relaxing trip. Marmaris, which has the largest flotilla of cruising yachts in the Aegean - Mediterranean region, is a popular departure point for a roundtrip charter; to either northwest of the Aegean side or southeast.

To the south of Marmaris, you will experience some entertaining bay-hopping while taking time to enjoy swimming and other water sports. Then you can anchor at Ekincik and take a small boat up the reedlined Dalyan Delta to ancient Caunos and Lake Koycegiz with its healing mud baths, passing Lycian tombs carved in the cliffs.

At north and west of Marmaris, you may visit legendary Cleopatra Island in Gokova Bay. Visit the popular yachitng destination at Bencik, or enjoy the waterfront, marina, Crusader Castle, and lively bazaar of Bodrum.
