The Gulf of Hisarönü. So quiet you can hear the beating of a butterfly’s wing. So calm you can see the sky reflected in the sea. Meditation or Hisarönü? We think Hisarönü.
Day 1 – Bodrum
Your Turkey gulet holiday starts in Bodrum. After check-in at 3pm your time is free to explore the historic and charming town of Bodrum. Learn about the city’s ancient past in Bodrum Castle and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Or stroll round the cool lanes of the old town and pick up some treats.
