Turkey's Gulf of Gökova is an astoundingly under hyped holiday destination. Endearing seaside towns, shrubby mountain backdrops and private coves with shimmering blue sea are being totally missed by the masses. Which makes it perfect for us to explore. Picture yourself aboard a traditional Turkish gulet boat, eating home cooked meals and lapping up sunshine between snorkels.

DAY 1: Start Bodrum
Bodrum

Getting straight down to business, this show kicks off in the coastal town of Bodrum within the nest of our traditional Turkish gulet, no less. Gulet is a sailing boat, which looks like it's straight out of Instagram. This will be perfect for lots of boat jumping during our swim stops. After we've settled in and enjoyed a pow-wow over dinner, you're free to check out Bodrum's great nightlife. Just try to make it back before we set sail tomorrow morning...

Bodrum
DAY 2: Bodrum to Cokertme via Orak Island
Bodrum

Wave goodbye to the Turkish harbourside, it's time to get salty! Our first journey at sea this morning will take us from the arms of Bodrum and into the pristine Gulf of Gokova.

Orak Island

The drift to Cokertme just can't be done without a stop on Orak Island. Bikini up and get ready to soak up some sunshine and saltwater - the ocean here is crystal clear. 

Cokertme

The journey here will be just as good as the destination, with the daybeds onboard the boat creating holiday vibes aplenty. 

DAY 3: Cokertme to English Harbour via Seven Islands
Cokertme

If yesterday didn't leave you in need of a sleep in, rise in time for the first rays of sunshine as we disembark with Seven Islands on our minds. 

Seven Islands

The day is yours, Captain Wanderlust. Run through forests, search for sea-creatures, or lull about onboard our boat working on the body's bronze, and relax over daily lunches on board of fresh seafood, salads and fruit to keep hungry sailors at bay. Your Captain knows all the best spots on the island for epic views, and there's time to take them all in during this stop. 

English Harbour

Well, day-3 was certainly good for the soul! And so too will tomorrow. We'll pull into English Harbour this eve knowing that a playground awaits our eager eyes in the morning. 

DAY 4: English Harbour to Karacasogut
English Harbour

Sulphur pools and full body mud masks? Hell yes we'll take the day trip to Dalyan Caunos! And since we're being so at one with nature, searching for endangered loggerhead sea turtles sounds like a very fine idea. Then it's back on the boat as we head towards our next destination. 

FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Day trip to Dalyan Caunos
Karacasogut

The beach town of Marmaris in Mugla Province  is yours tonight after we dock at the gorgeous marina town of Karacasogut. Tomorrow we'll give you plenty of sunshine and saltwater to remove any remnants of a rapacious night out. 

DAY 5: Karacasogut to Ballisu via Cleopatra Island
Karacasogut

Sailing out of Karacasogut in search of Cleopatra Island - it doesn't get more exotic sounding than that. 

Cleopatra Island

Mythologies and seashell shorelines and pretty distant hills make Cleopatra Island one of the most special beaches in the world. After soaking in the seas that apparently once cooled off the real deal Cleopatra, we'll head to Ballisu.

Ballisu

Enjoy the chance for a night swim under the cover of the Turkish stars. Not too many sunsets left, so make the most of the #nofilter lifestyle and sit back and relax and make sure those memories are well intact. 

DAY 6: Ballisu to Pabuç Burnu via Kisebuku & Kargili
Ballisu

Ballisu will be behind us, but that's okay given a whole day of prettiness sits ahead.

Kisebuku / Kargili

Bays sheltered by pine trees will set your heart into a flutter as we float towards Kargili. Besides taking it very easy on the shore, today's agenda will involve the ancient Byzantine ruins of Kisebuku.

Pabuç Burnu

It's our second last night of sailor life, so make the best of tonight at a local bar.

DAY 7: Pabuç Burnu to Bodrum via Yaliciftlik
Pabuç Burnu

We'll raise the anchor this morning and make our way to a small local village on the coast, because stretching out those legs could be just what's in order. 

Yaliciftlik

This cute local village is bound to impress on this Free Time Add-on experience. See Turkish carpets being made, traditional Turkish food being produced, and meet some locals as well. This really is seeing the other side of traditional Turkey up close, and traveller it is awesome. For those keen to kick it on the boat, you can, as you make the rules. 

FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Local village tour
Bodrum

Soak up your last bout of Turkish sea life before we head back to Bodrum for our final evening together - apparently all good things must come to an end (sad face). With all this relaxing, sunbaking, partying and repeating, you're sure to need some rest. Keep it real with a traditional Turkish Hammam, the best place to un-wind and get some baby soft skin. Bliss.

FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Turkish Hammam Bath
DAY 8: Depart Bodrum
Bodrum

Team sobs and many hugs will conclude our Turkish sailing adventure shortly after breakfast. The only thing we can say to ease the pain is this: Contiki has something equally as wonderful going on in Croatia, go get involved. 

Bodrum

Will be hard to beat!
My girlfriend and I went on this trip. This is potentially not the best trip for couples but we had a blast none the less! We were really well looked after, the staff were outstanding. Our captain Yussif was absolutely brilliant. There are lots of things included with the tour that aren't always on the itinerary, for example, one night we took the speedboat to an island and watched the sunset on the top of the hill while having some drinks. My girlfriend and I are not huge drinkers so went on 1 night out but not on the other 2. That worked okay as we had a quiet night on the boat while the others went out. All the excursions are brilliant with the exception of the village tour. The village tour is more or less a guy taking you around a small village including a mosque visit, but the day is him sweeting you up for a big sales pitch on turkish rugs in the rug factory. These rugs are not cheap either. There are so many more things that are great about this trip that I just can't fit in this review! There are LOTS of swim stops (inflatables included) The mud baths and massages are a MUST. And the food is brilliant. This is a trip I will never forget.

Amazing first trip with Contiki
Spent more money than originally intended (add-on excursions, drinks, wifi), and some places only accepted Euros whilst others only accepted Lira which was a bit confusing. It wasnt 100% value for money but still wouldn't put me off going again now I know what to expect.

A nice enough holiday, but lacking something special.
I had a good time on my Turkish Sailing holiday, but there were a few areas that were lacking the usual Contiki flair. Starting off with the good points: The crew were excellent, friendly and professional and they made sure we were looked after. The group were amazing! We had a great time getting to know each other and we were all very sad to see each other go at the end of the trip! :( The boat was nice, the accommodation was basic but tidy and comfortable. The food was nice, again pretty basic, but fresh and tasty (lots of fish though!). The weather was fantastic all week and the areas we stopped at had really lovely water to swim in. And the bad points: The boat didn't dock in a port every night (which was what I was expecting), so lots of time spent on the boat. The excursions were mediocre and of questionable value for money, a couple of them were tourist traps so you'd spend more money. All in all the trip itself was good value for money and I had a nice relaxing time which was the main reason I booked the holiday.
