Local notes
  • The order of stops is not fixed; depending on the operator and the wind, Kış Limanı, Makri Adası, Akvaryum Koyu and Yeşil Koy may be visited in any order.
  • Rota Karaburun-Ildır Körfezi Özel Çevre Koruma Bölgesi içindedir (823 sayılı Cumhurbaşkanı Kararı, 15.03.2019). Akdeniz foku üreme alanıdır.
  • Wind is the number one operational risk in the area: meltem strengthens after noon, cancellations are routine.
  • Don't confuse Eşek Adası with Uzunada — Uzunada is a military zone, civilian access is prohibited.
  • Typical schedule.
