Göcek Bays & 12 Islands Blue Cruise Route

The Göcek Bays and 12 Islands region is one of the most protected and picturesque sailing areas on the Turkish coast, offering calm seas, pine-covered shores, and countless secluded anchorages.

The route begins around Göcek Marina, sailing north and south through a network of small islands and sheltered bays. Popular stops include Yassıca Islands, known for their shallow turquoise waters and relaxed atmosphere, and Tersane Island, a historic anchorage once used as a naval shipyard.

Further along the route, guests may visit Bedri Rahmi Bay (Taşyaka Cove), famous for its rock paintings created by the renowned Turkish artist Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu. Nearby coves such as Sarsala Bay, Domuz Bükü, Ağa Limanı, and Kleopatra Hamamı (Hamam Bay) offer crystal-clear water, ancient ruins, and peaceful surroundings.

The cruise also explores smaller islands including Kızıl Ada, Tavşan Adası, Yassıca Adaları, and Göcek Adası, each providing ideal conditions for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxation.
