Boat Life
Take a boat into the bays
The day that makes sense of the whole peninsula.
Not yet checked by the Smileys team β prices and hours may have moved.
Why do it?
Bodrum is a gulet town: wooden boats run daily trips out of the harbours, stopping to swim in a series of bays and islands. It is the standard Bodrum day and it deserves its reputation β the coastline reads completely differently from the water.
The Smileys Take
Don't spend a whole trip looking at the sea from the shore. Get on a boat at least once β the best part of Bodrum starts when the coastline disappears behind you. Ask how many stops and how long at each; that, not the boat, is what makes the day.
Good to know
- Shared day trips and private charters both run from the harbours β the difference is the crowd, not the coastline.
- Sun on open water is a different animal. Cover up before you think you need to.

Nothing is scheduled around this in Bodrum yet. When a host plans it, it shows here β the calendar and hangouts are the places to look meanwhile.
