It is also the gateway of the Gulf of Gokӧva, one of Turkey's iconic blue cruise routes.The narrow bay of about 100km long is a well-known stretch of coastline along the Aegean Sea between the Bodrum and Datca peninsulas.This South Aegean sojourn is an acclaimed holiday paradise that draws praise from all who visit these out-of-the-ordinary shores.

Evil-eye beads are a popular charm purchased by tourists to these coastlines. While glass beads are regarded as an important part of Turkish craftsmanship, the 'all-seeing eyeballs' (beads) are culturally significant. These Nazar beads are traditional Anatolian beads that are believed to ward off evil. They are sometimes referred to as a 'Blue Bead' or 'Mavi Boncuk', explaining this cove's name. The blue of the bead is said to represent the water at this cove and how the light shimmers off its clear waters.Cleopatra Island.

The quintessential blue cruise that explores a world of breath-taking natural wonders

Celebrated as the most beautiful gulf in Turkey, the Gokӧva Gulf is a destination of choice for blue cruises and nature lovers alike.

Popular Turkish writer, Cevat Sakir Kakaagacli, became known as The Fisherman of Halicarnassus and the man that made Bodrum famous. Born in Greece in 1890 and passing away at the age of 83 years, he made countless sailing expeditions as an ethnographer and travelogue along Turkey's southwestern coast. These led him to discover the legendary Blue Voyage (Mavi Yolculuk in Turkish), otherwise known as the Blue Tour (Mavi Tur) or the classic Blue Cruise.

Halicarnassus is the historical name for Bodrum, a city on the peninsula of the same name. It is also the gateway of the Gulf of Gokӧva, one of Turkey's iconic blue cruise routes.
