Wandering around the bays and coastal villages on daily excursion boats departing from Bodrum harbor or local ports is the most enjoyable way to explore the Bodrum peninsula from the sea.
Daily boat tours leave from piers in Bodrum center, Kumbahce, Gumbet, Bitez, Ortakent, Turgutreis, Gumusluk, Yalikavak, Turkbuku, and Torba when they are full.
The tours begin around 11 a.m. and end after a pleasant visit to a couple of lovely bays. There is plenty of time to relax, sunbathe, and swim in the deep blue waters before and after lunch, which typically consists of fish or chicken, salad, pasta, and a drink.
Daily boat tours are one of the most popular holiday activities for both domestic and international visitors to Bodrum.
You can visit the natural thermal water in Karaada (Black Island) near Bodrum, as well as the Aquarium Bay, Rabbit Cape, Poyraz Harbor, Meteor Pit, Aspat, Bagla, Kargi (Camel Beach), and the coves near Orak Island, with these tours.
The boat tour concludes with a serving of ice-cold watermelon and evening tea on the way back, after a 30–45-minute swimming break at each bay.
