Full-Day Tour Along the Northern Coast of Gökova Bay, Departing from Akyaka Harbor. After swimming in the shallow, fine sands of Ziraatçiler Bay and İncekum, the main stop of the day is Sedir Island: the theater and ruins of the ancient city of Kedrai and the famous beach with sand said to have been brought for Cleopatra. About two hours are spent on the island, with lunch served on the boat during this time. On the way back, swimming breaks are taken in Lacivert Bay and around the underwater caves of Gelibolu Island.

- Local notes
- Sedir Island Sandbank: The sand at Kleopatra Beach features unique calcite grains found only here and in Crete. The sandy area is cordoned off with ropes; walking (even in flip-flops), lying down, spreading towels, and removing sand is prohibited. You must shower when exiting the water, and there may be checks when leaving the island.
- Removal of sand is subject to legal action, including imprisonment, under Law No. 2863 on the Protection of Cultural and Natural Properties.
- RÜZGÂR: Akyaka is one of Turkey's main windsurfing centers; thermal winds strengthen after noon. The tour therefore departs early in the morning and spends the afternoon in sheltered bays.
- Most bays are inaccessible by road; the only way to reach them is by boat.
- Sea shoes, snorkel and sunscreen are recommended.
