Sunset
Sunset from a boat
The peninsula lights up better from offshore.
₺₺2–3 hoursLate afternoon, May to October
Why do it?
Short evening trips leave as the heat drops and put you offshore for the sunset, with the castle and the town on one side and open water on the other. Shorter and cheaper than a full day, and a completely different mood.
The Smileys Take
Better than a full day trip if you only have one evening — you get the light, the swim and the harbour coming on, without eight hours of sun. Take a layer: the temperature falls fast once the sun goes.
Good to know
- Departure times shift with the season — sunset moves nearly two hours between June and October.
