Kusadasi, whose name means "Bird Island", grew around a small island linked to the mainland by a causeway and crowned by a medieval fortress. Today it is one of the liveliest resorts of the Turkish Aegean, and its shoreline is broken into a string of sandy and pebbled bays backed by pine-covered hills. Seen from the deck of a boat, the coast reveals inlets that are hard to reach by road, and the water in these sheltered coves is calm and transparent, ideal for a swim, a little snorkelling or simply floating in the sun.

This daily Kusadasi boat tour and daily excursion suits anyone staying in Selcuk who wants a gentle break between sightseeing days. There is no fixed schedule of activities on board: you choose whether to swim at every stop, read in the shade or chat with fellow passengers while the music plays. A lunch with vegetarian, halal and meat options is prepared on the boat, and soft drinks are served with the meal.

Practical notes: bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a hat. A Kusadasi day trip by boat depends on sea conditions, so the order and choice of bays may be adjusted by the captain on the day. Transfers from Selcuk are included, so you can relax completely and leave the logistics to us.
