Day 1 Bodrum

Bodrum Situated 20 minutes from its new international airport, Bodrum is a perfect embarkation or disembarkation port.  It has a sophisticated marina to one side of the main harbour overlooking the imposing Crusader castle built by the Knights of  St. John.  The same castle houses the best underwater archaeological museum in the Mediterranean and is well worth a visit.  Bodrum is the undisputed ?hot spot? of the Aegean coast and boasts an abundance of good restaurants, bars and clubs including the world-famous Halicarnassus discoteque.

Day 2  Amazon Creek

At the southeastern end of the thickly wooded shores of the Gulf of Gokova,  Amazon Creek meanders its way inland and provides a secure anchorage in memorable surroundings.  Further up the inlet, accessible by dinghy, is a small rustic restaurant amongst the trees next to the river.

Day 3  English Harbour

A large bay with many creeks and anchorages, English Harbour gets its name from the time when British torpedo boats used it as a base during the Second World War.  The area is densely covered by magnificent pine forests as well as desidious trees including the rare fragrant amber, which grows in only a few places in the Eastern Mediterranean.  There are many attractive walks ashore and two restaurants open in the area.

Day 4 Sedre

Another lovely bay in an idyllic setting.  Visit ancient Kedrai on nearby Cleopatra?s Island where, amongst other ruins, is a beautifully shaded amphitheatre.  The sand on a small beach on this island was, if the story is to be believed, shipped by galley from Egypt by Cleopatra to create a beach for her lover Anthony to sunbathe on!  A perfect environment in which to enjoy an evening barbeque on board.

Day 5 Yediadalar

This chain of seven small islands close to the coast encloses waters offering great underwater fishing as well as a multitude of sheltered anchorages.  One can often catch sight of turtles and monk seals in this area and behind the northern-most island is a perfect anchorage from where a river disappears into the forest.  A dinghy-ride up this river to the small restaurant nestling in the woods provides the perfect end to a perfect day.

Day 6 Cokertme

A large, sheltered bay on the northern shores of the Gulf of Gokova, Cokertme has a small hamlet on the waters edge in a very attractive setting with impressive mountains rising behind it.  There are numberous interesting walks in the vicinity and one or two small restaurants by the water offering good, simple local dishes.  Carpets are made in the village and it is always interesting to watch the process.  In common with most of the anchorages in the Gulf of Gokova, Cokertme provides a perfect venue for all watersports.
