Arrived in Ören, the comfortable Gokova Marina welcomes you with a dreamlike view. The “gateway to heaven”, as the harbour town calls itself, is known for its crescent-shaped, bright sandy beach. Enjoy the atmosphere on the promenade and discover local delicacies.

After a quiet night in the port of Ören, head west today to sail around the Reşadiye Peninsula. Arriving in Datca, you will be delighted by the authentic Turkish ambience. Traditional handicrafts are just as popular as the various delicacies. The hustle and bustle of the harbour town is lively – perfect for a stroll through the city. On the mountain slopes of the region you can spot windmills, which are well worth a visit. The ruins of Datca are a popular sight. From here you can experience a picturesque view over the wine-growing areas, the turquoise sea and the rock formations on the horizon.

Leaving the Datca Marina behind you, head for the Gulf of Hisarönü. After getting to know the cultural diversity of Turkey yesterday, today will convince you of the pure natural beauty of the region. At your own pace, glide past caves and rocky coasts and discover the purity of the sea during a swim stop. In complete tranquillity, draw strength and switch off from everyday life. If you like, you can enjoy water sports. Connoisseurs can indulge in culinary delights on board. The sunset is magical in the Gulf of Hisarönü.
