Exploring the full itinerary: what you can expect
This tour is designed to be a full immersion into the fun and scenic beauty of the Turkish Mediterranean. Starting at the Marina Kemer, you’ll be picked up from your hotel, making your day hassle-free. Once aboard, the boat heads out of the harbor, giving you your first glimpse of the turquoise waters and rugged coastline. The first stop is near the ancient city of Olympos, where you can swim and relax in the calm waters, taking in views of history and nature. The two-hour stop here allows plenty of time to cool off and enjoy the scenery.
Next, the boat moves to Korsan Koyu or Pirate Bay, a favorite for its playful name and lively ambiance. This is where the foam party kicks off, with the onboard DJ creating a party atmosphere that is popular with families and couples alike. The crew encourages dancing, and the foam adds a sense of adventure. Here, you’ll also enjoy a tasty onboard meal, which many reviews describe as delicious and filling. The bay’s calm waters make it ideal for swimming and paddleboarding, and you’ll have about an hour to splash around.
The third stop at Phaselis Koyu immerses you in history, with ruins of ancient aqueducts, baths, and an amphitheater. You get an hour to explore the archaeological site and then relax on the pebble beaches with clear waters—perfect for a last swim. The ruins add a touch of cultural interest, making this stop more than just a beach break.
Finally, after a full day of fun, the boat returns to Kemer harbor, passing scenic coastlines and enjoying the music and energy onboard. The return transfer gets you back to your hotel relaxed and tired, in the best way.
