Heading west towards the Loryma Peninsula, you can moor in the natural harbor of Bozukkale and explore the remains of fortifications on the cliffs. Take a tender ride ashore and stretch your legs with a walk into the valley where a local family set up a restaurant in the bay, before snorkeling for octopus in Serce.

Known for its windy yet beautiful landscape, Hisarönü bay is frequently visited by dolphins. The bay also has red sand which is a spectacle at sunset.

Plucked from a whimsical fairy tale, Cappadocia should be on everyone’s bucket list, so if time allows take a short flight to Kayseri and spend a couple of days exploring its honeycombed hills, cave dwellings and towering boulders. And don’t forget a hot air balloon ride at sunrise for a real pinch-me moment.
