Overview
Bozcaada's tour boats leave the harbour below the castle each morning to circle shores that cannot be reached by road. The route usually starts with the small Gökçe islets to the north, passes the wind turbines and Polente Lighthouse on the western tip, and continues to the Habbele shore and Akvaryum Cove in the south. At Akvaryum Cove and the rock hollows around it there is a swimming break of about 50 minutes, and further swims are made at other coves during the day. Lunch is served on board, usually with fresh fish of the day. The coves visited depend on the day's wind.
