Overview
Leaving Taşucu harbour in the morning, this trip covers the sheltered coves west of Silifke and Dana Island with its ancient remains. The first long stop is in Boğsak Bay, followed by lunch and swimming time at Dana Island. In the afternoon there is another swim around Barbaros Bay, and seasonal fruit is served off Güvercin Island on the way back. The calm, shallow coves make it a good choice for families with children. Some operators run shuttle buses from Mersin and Adana to the harbour.
