Bencik Bay
Bencik is an idyllic protected bay with a narrow and long entrance, and many further bays on its east and west, making it the ideal place to stop overnight.

Surrounded by pine trees on all sides, this bay provides a real escape to nature, and visitors can enjoy downtime on deck with a favorite book, dips in clear turquoise waters as well as watersports. Bug repellant is highly advised as this bay is known for lots of bees!
Orhaniye – Selimiye
The Bay of Orhaniye, also known as Kecibuku, is located on the Gulf of Hisaronu. The most famous part of this bay is no doubt its red sandy road which gives the feeling of walking on the sea. This road was created by a little river that carries sand and grit from the mountains towards the sea. The next destination is Selimiye, which is well known for its local fish restaurants. Following a delicious meal in Selimiye, you head to Dirsekbuku. After enjoying the crystal clear waters of Dirsekbuku, you set anchor in Bozburun, which is famous for its gulets. The next stop is Arab Island.
Arab Island – Kadırga
With its unspoiled nature and crystal-clear waters, Arab Island is an idyllic stopover. Following leisurely swims in this location, the route takes off to Kadirga, another bay that can only be reached by boat. This blue cruise holiday then ends back in Marmaris.
