Turkey Cabin Charter from Orhaniye to Marmaris

Embarkation takes place in Orhaniye, a sheltered bay known for its calm setting and scenic coastline. After check-in, yacht orientation, and a safety briefing, there is time to explore the village or take a short walk uphill for panoramic views over the bay.

One of the highlights is Kız Kumu, also known as Maiden’s Sand, a natural sandbank where visitors can walk through shallow water far into the bay. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed coastal walk before dinner at Ersoy Pansion.

Today’s route leads to Selimiye, one of the most charming villages on the Bozburun Peninsula. Along the way, the yacht may stop in a quiet turquoise bay for swimming, snorkeling, and time at anchor.

Selimiye is known for its waterfront restaurants, boutique shops, and relaxed evening atmosphere. The yacht will moor near the town, giving easy access to the promenade and local dining options.

Bozburun is a peaceful village with a strong maritime tradition and a reputation as one of Turkey’s gulet-building centers. Sheltered by low mountains and facing the Greek island of Symi, it offers a quiet setting far from busier resort towns.

The clear surrounding bays are ideal for swimming, while the waterfront is lined with small restaurants serving fresh seafood. Guests can also explore nearby walking trails or visit the remains of ancient Larymna.

Bozuk Kale, also known as Loryma, is one of the most atmospheric anchorages on this route. The bay is overlooked by the ruins of an ancient fortress, with views across the water toward Rhodes on clear days. The transparent water makes this a memorable stop for swimming, and sea turtles are sometimes seen in the bay. The yacht will moor near the local restaurant pier, with time to walk up to the fortress before dinner.

Çiftlik is a quiet coastal stop surrounded by pine-covered hills and clear turquoise water. Located not far from Marmaris, it is well suited for swimming, snorkeling, and a relaxed evening ashore. Local restaurants are known for fresh fish, Turkish breakfasts, oven-baked dishes, and village products such as bazlama bread and honey. The yacht will moor at Mehmet Place for the night.

Ekincik is a scenic bay surrounded by forested mountains and is often used as a starting point for excursions to Dalyan. From here, guests can take a traditional river boat through the reeds to see the Lycian rock tombs and the ancient city of Kaunos. There may also be time to visit the famous mud baths before returning to the coast. In the evening, enjoy dinner at a seaside restaurant or at My Marina, known for its panoramic views.

The final sailing day leads to Marmaris, a lively harbor town set in a protected bay where pine forests meet the sea. The approach offers calm waters, marina views, and a scenic coastline. After arrival, guests can explore Marmaris Castle, the old town, Grand Bazaar, or the long seaside promenade leading toward İçmeler. Marmaris offers a lively finish to the itinerary, with restaurants, shops, and nightlife within easy reach.
