Tour Highlights
Join us on the Bozburun peninsula and swim in the crystal clear bays where the Mediterranean and Aegean seas collide.
Relax in the quiet fishing 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 Turkish 'gulet'.
Seek out secluded bays and complete a range of coastal swims, island hopping adventures and more challenging crossings in open water.
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 seek out the ruins of a 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. We even travel around on a traditional Turkish gulet - an ideal way to reach each swim spot and a fine display of traditional artisanry, perfected by the locals. There is plenty of room on the boat to stretch out, dry off and relax under the sun after you leave the water.
If you would like to explore this part of the world, but are looking for slightly shorter swimming distances, please check out our Bozburun Short Swims – Turkey trip.
