Overview
Instead of the national park, this trip heads north from the Güvercinada pier towards the Özdere and Ahmetbeyli coast. The first stop is Baradan Cove, where lunch is usually served. The boat then moves to Maydanoz Cove and spends a longer afternoon break at Koru Cove; some programmes also add Kargacık Cove. The return leg starts around 15:00. Some pirate-themed boats run this route with music, animation and a foam party, so guests who want a quiet day should ask before booking. The route may change with the wind.
