In Orhaniye Bay, you will see unique scenery of a natural tidal formation called 'kız kumu' (Maiden's Beach).

After anchoring in Dirsekbuku and taking a swimming stop, we will go to Bozburun which is a small fishing town. This area was popular and suitable for sponge-diving but nowadays the people of the island are no more interested in sponge-diving as it is not financially beneficial and is dangerous. In recent years sponge-diving is replaced by gulet tourism and Bozburun Gulets nowadays could take its place in this sector.BLUE CRUISE Day 6:
We will cruise to Datca. Food and water will be supplied to the yacht from Datca Harbour. The island has no humidity at all and has fresh air with plenty of oxygen. The historian Strabo has a rightful saying about Datça's weather: "God would send his beloved servants to Datça to live longer".You may take a walk in Datca Harbour. We will cruise to Cnidus for dinner and overnight stay. You may take a walk on the shore to see the ruins.
