Overview
The boat leaves the Güvercinada pier in central Kuşadası in the morning and reaches the shores of the Dilek Peninsula-Büyük Menderes Delta National Park after roughly an hour and fifteen minutes. Over the day it stops for swimming at three coves of the park that are hard to reach by road; the captain picks the coves according to wind and sea conditions. Lunch is served on board. The route runs along the coast facing the Greek island of Samos, which is often clearly visible. The boat returns to the same pier in the late afternoon. Expect a busy, family-oriented day boat with music.
