Overview
Small motor yachts leaving Bademli village south of Dikili explore the shallow, sheltered coves between Kalem Island and the mainland. Depending on the weather, swimming stops are made at three or four coves at least; Zindancık Cove, Hanımın Cove with its natural clay, Akvaryum Cove and Ilıca Cove at the tip of Kalem Island are the most common. The Zindancık area is thought to be the site of the ancient city of Kane. The boats carry between 8 and 65 people and are chartered by one group for the whole day. Trips come with or without lunch; on trips without meals guests may bring their own food and drinks.
