4x4 safari and boat cruise in Marmaris with onboard lunch

Fun and relaxation surrounded by Turkey's technicolour scenery is the name of the game on this tour. It combines a half-day off-road safari to unspoiled villages and a half-day boat trip around bays and islands. Omer, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Hemmed in between the Bodrum Peninsula to the north and Datça to the south, the Gulf of Gökova, or Ceramic Gulf, showcases Turkey's Turquoise Coast at its finest.'

Begin the day by bumping cross-country and heading along off-road tracks, where authentic Turkey will unfold before your eyes. The trail goes through the pine forest and follows the shore with views of the islands, coves and mountains of Mugla. You'll discover timeworn villages such as Yeşilbelde and Karaca, before arriving in Camli port for the next step of the tour. Next, you'll set sail to Sedir island in the Gokova Gulf. Omer says, ‘Gokova Gulf is home to Sedir island – also known as Cleopatra Island, where legend has it, the sand was brought from the Red Sea upon her command. The silky sand here certainly took millions of years to form.'

Choose to relax on the boat, take a dip, or opt to pay to join your guide on Cleopatra Island for a tour of the ruins and time to explore the unique beach. After a swim, you'll sail around the surrounding islands, inlets and secluded bays, dropping anchor at Lacivert Cove and Tavsan Island. Unwind, snooze the afternoon away or lose yourself in the beautiful scenery or a good book.
