What the experience is like

How the experience normally works

Transfer

Marmaris to Çamlı area

Many tours begin with a road transfer before boarding the boat in the Gökova side rather than sailing directly from central Marmaris.

Island

Sedir / Cleopatra Island

Free time on the island gives you a different destination from the standard Marmaris Bay cruise.
