It is the perfect great-value join-in daily excursion from Izmir for travellers who want to swim, sunbathe and sail along one of Turkey's most beautiful stretches of coast.

Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers in İzmir

This Cesme Boat Trip also works as a shore excursion from the İzmir cruise port — a popular choice for passengers who have one day ashore. Shared departures follow a fixed timetable, so please send us your ship’s arrival and departure times when booking — we confirm pier pickup or suggest the private option for tight port calls. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Simply share your cruise itinerary and the date you are in İzmir, and we will reserve your places.

Tour Highlights

• Paşa Limanı (Pasha Harbour) and Büyük Liman — the first anchorage, a sheltered bay with calm, glassy water ideal for a morning dip.
• Green Bay (Yeşil Koy) — named for the emerald hue of its crystal-clear sea, so transparent you can watch small fish dart beneath you.
• Blue Bay — the party stop, with on-board animation, dance shows and swimming competitions.
• Ayayorgi Bay — roughly an hour and a half of free time in the famous clear waters of this fashionable Çeşme cove.
• Lunch on board and a festive return journey with a DJ and animators.

Cruising the Coves of the Çeşme Peninsula

Çeşme, at the tip of the peninsula west of Izmir, is renowned for its thermal springs, windsurfing beaches and some of the clearest water in the Aegean. The cruise sets out past the long sands of Ilıca beach toward Paşa Limanı, a tranquil harbour bay for the first swim of the day. It then moves on to Green Bay, whose vivid emerald colour and clean, shallow water make it a favourite for families and snorkellers alike. Between stops you relax on deck, soaking up the sea breeze and the coastline views.

Blue Bay, Ayayorgi and a Day on the Water

The boat continues to Blue Bay, where the atmosphere turns festive with on-board entertainment, dance shows and good-humoured swimming competitions, before anchoring at the stylish Ayayorgi Bay for around ninety minutes of swimming and sunbathing in its celebrated waters. A hearty lunch is served on board, and the voyage home — back toward Ilıca — becomes a floating party as the DJ and animators keep the energy high. Relaxing, scenic and fun in equal measure, this Çeşme boat trip is an unforgettable day trip for anyone staying in Izmir or along the Çeşme coast.
