From Kusadasi
A Kusadasi boat cruise day tour is the easiest way to swap busy streets for turquoise water, sea breeze and quiet coves along the Aegean shore. This daily excursion from Kusadasi spends the whole day on deck, hopping between scenic bays and stopping at a natural beach so you can swim, snorkel and sunbathe at an unhurried pace.
Cruise passengers docking in Kuşadası can book the Kusadasi Boat Cruise as a convenient Kuşadası shore excursion during their port call. This shared tour suits cruise passengers with a full day in port; let us know your ship’s schedule and we will confirm the pickup point at the cruise terminal or offer a private alternative. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Just tell us the ship and the day it calls at Kuşadası — we take care of the rest.
The Kusadasi Boat Cruise is also arranged for visitors coming over from Samos or Patmos for the day. Catch the early ferry to Kuşadası (from Samos the ferry takes 45 minutes; from Patmos the ferry takes about 3 hours) and you will be back on the island the same evening. Our team welcomes you at the Kuşadası ferry port and makes sure the day ends in time for your return crossing. For longer itineraries we check the ferry timetable first and confirm that the full programme fits your day. Please bring your passport and check the Turkish entry requirements for your nationality before travelling.
Kusadasi sits on a wide gulf of the Aegean Sea in Aydin province, and its coastline is broken into small bays and sandy inlets that are best reached by water. Cruising out of the harbour you get a different view of the town, its green hills and the open sea beyond, while the boat pauses wherever the water is most inviting. The swimming stops are the heart of this daily Kusadasi tour: the sea here is clean and pleasantly warm in summer, ideal for a refreshing dip or a look at the sea floor with a mask.
This Kusadasi day trip suits families, couples and anyone who wants a slower day between sightseeing visits to Ephesus and the surrounding ruins. Boarding takes place at around 08:30, lunch is served between roughly 12:00 and 13:00, and the boat returns to Kusadasi at about 17:00. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a hat; an English-speaking guide accompanies the group throughout the day.

Kusadasi Bays Boat Cruise Programme Your English-speaking guide meets you in the hotel lobby in the morning and accompanies you to the harbour, where you board the boat at around 08:30–08:45. Once everyone is settled, the boat leaves Kusadasi and sails along the Aegean coast, calling at a series of bays where the colour of the water changes from deep blue to bright turquoise. The first longer stop is at a natural beach, where you have time to swim, snorkel or simply lie in the sun. Around midday, between about 12:00 and 13:00, a barbecue lunch is served on board, and soft drinks, beer, wine, tea and coffee are included without limit throughout the cruise. In the afternoon the boat continues to further swimming spots, with music playing on deck and plenty of time to relax, chat and enjoy the coastal scenery. Late in the afternoon the boat heads back towards Kusadasi harbour, where you disembark at around 17:00 and are transferred back to your hotel.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
