Overview
A private charter that shows the Akliman and Hamsilos bays on the northern coast of the Sinop peninsula from the sea. Leaving from Sinop centre the round trip takes three to four hours; alternatively guests can drive to Akliman and board there for a shorter outing. Hamsilos is a narrow, forest-lined inlet regarded as Turkey's clearest example of a ria-type coast and is protected as a nature park. When conditions allow, the route continues to İnceburun, the northernmost point of Türkiye, and its lighthouse. Options with lunch, without lunch or with a swimming break are agreed with the operator in advance.
