Overview
Gökçeada's day-trip boats leave Kaleköy harbour on the island's north coast in the morning and follow the shoreline past roughly nine coves and headlands. The route first heads west towards the Tepeköy shore, a waterfall and Marmaros, then turns back east to Yıldız Koy and Mavi Koy next to Kaleköy, the coastal caves and the Peynir (Cheese) Rocks near Kuzu Limanı, reaching Kefaloz Point in the south-east. Three of these stops are used for swimming and snorkelling breaks of about 45 minutes, and lunch is served on board. The Yıldız Koy area lies within the island's underwater national park. The boats have two decks, one shaded and one for sunbathing.
