Tour Highlights
Enjoy a more leisurely holiday of shorter swims in sunlit bays where the Mediterranean and Aegean seas meet.
Relax in the quiet coastal town of Bozburun and peer out at sweeping views over the sea, with the Greek island of Symi in the distance.
Swim alongside rocky backdrops and explore the coastal terrain from our large, comfortable main support boat.
Seek out more secluded bays and complete a range of coastal swims, island hopping adventures and open water crossings.
The quiet town of Bozburun is located just 45km from the sandy beaches and pine-forested surrounds of Marmaris. It is a unique and peaceful base within the busy district of Muğla - a region scattered with mountains and home to several sites of historical interest. You can visit the ancient port town of Larymna (which means ‘people of sand’) or find the ruins of a long-forgotten citadel in Bozukkale (which means ‘broken castle’). The Carian trail also runs through Bozburun peninsula and offers plenty of incredible hiking routes and viewpoints to stop and savour the journey.
It’s here, where the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea collide, that you’ll uncover the many bays of Bozburun, washed with warm, clear waters. You’ll be spoilt for coastlines to explore and islands to circumnavigate. There is plenty of room on our main support boat to stretch out, dry off and relax under the sun after you leave the water.
If you are set on exploring this part of the world, but keen for slightly longer swimming distances, please check out our classic Bozburun - Turkey trip.
