Please note, on this lux & chill adventure we will provide transportation services from and to the airport.
ARRIVAL (Bodrum)
It is best to fly to Milas–Bodrum Airport which is 36km from Bodrum. We will meet in Bodrum Port at 3pm September 7th, so make sure you have enough time to get to the port. We plan on departing an hour before sunset to make it to a bay so that we don't need to spend the night in port.
DEPARTURE (Marmaris)
We will finish in Marmaris, a different city and you will need to get flights from Dalaman Airport (DLM). Since we arrive at the port the night before, anytime that works best for you. Easy breezy.
Bodrum is a city on the Bodrum Peninsula on the Aegean Sea. The city is a gateway to nearby beach towns and resorts. Famous for its stunning beaches, lavish lifestyle and nightlife, Bodrum is most famous for its impressive view from the water. The turquoise seas and the rugged coastline contrast beautifully with the city's luxury.
Welcome to our gulet, these are old Turkish style boats that cruise the calm waters of the Mediterranean. You'll find this gulet has 8 total cabins and could fit 14-18 people. We have a full kitchen, bar, and many lounging areas throughout the vessel, and you'll have plenty of spots to sleep outside if you wish.
Our boat is 28 meters long, come with a crew of 4, and has all unlimited drinks... welcome to SYB on the seas.
If you're known to have issues with the motion in the ocean we recommend bringing along motion sickness remedies such as bracelets from Amazon. However, we use a big boy Gulet (basically a mini cruise ship), so the ride should be nice and smooth.
Credit and debit cards are accepted at most places in Turkey. However, it's always a good idea to have some cash you can exchange for Euros at the airport.
The lira is the official currency of Turkey. Euros are accepted in some places, but you will get a better deal using the lira.
ATMs are widely available for withdrawing cash. However, it is recommended to do so before leaving your home country, either at your bank or a foreign exchange service.
We suggest bringing €250 - €400 to use at bars or gelato spots in the various towns. But, otherwise, credit cards are accepted at most places. Also, this is all inclusive, so we've got ya covered for most things!
Food is all-inclusive. We'll have a private chef onboard to cook us up Turkish delights. Some days we may stop at some local port restaurants where you'll want to go out and explore and get your own meals, but otherwise, we've got you covered. And yes, that means alcohol too. Drink until you sink, not that we recommend this.
The Turkish Riviera is a cuisine inspired by Mediterranean flavors, from okra olive oil to herb salads, to baklava. Commonly used vegetables are chicory, radish leaves, zucchini flowers, eggplant and pickled cucumbers, to name a few.
Fish is famous in Bodrum since it is so fresh & local.
Be prepared to have your palette wowed!!
Don't worry, that's why we've got our profesh captains to guide us through any winds and storms. It's all about going with the flow -- life's better when it's spontaneous. We'll still be hitting the sexiest spots in Turkey rain or shine.
After a late night, you may not want to wake up and join us for a workout, but we highly suggest it! Included in your trip, the boot camps and yoga sessions keep us energized - there is nothing better than waking up and sweating with your new friends! Our world-class trip leaders know how to start your day the best way, with a good workout to prime us for a day of adventuring.
This experience is included in trip fees.
Turkey is a land of ancient artifacts, so obviously, we will be seeing some really old sites between our beach stops. We will be perfectly mixing culture with once-in-a-lifetime adventures and fitness.
These experiences are included in trip fees.
No need to whip out your phone or camera at any point throughout this trip because we have got you covered. We will have a professional photographer and videographer joining us on this trip to capture every moment. These will be the best travel photos and videos you will ever get - your friends better be ready for a photo dump out of their wildest dreams!!
We highly recommend you get travel and/or medical insurance. This is just for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.
Bodrum and surrounding areas are incredibly safe for tourists! The only significant risks we may experience are pickpockets or scammers in touristy areas.
Our accommodations will have safes for us to leave our valuables in, and we suggest leaving all important items in the safe while we are out exploring - but maybe keep your Yeezys and nice jewelry at home!
Just let us know and we'll add this to your booking. You must have booked a private room and the additional cost of adding another person is $1,200 USD.
