Gokova Bay* in the process of being designated a protected are by the Turkish government. The Bay can provide you with enough sites and bays for a whole week or even more, in fact, many Blue Voyages sail in Gokova Bay for 7 to 14 days without venturing out into the open Aegean! The translucent and deep waters vary from the darkest blue to the palest turquoise, and the coastline is thickly wooded with every hue of green. In the evening, the sea reflects the mountains silhouetted against the setting sun, while at night it shimmers with phosphorescence. Pine forests stretch out to meet the deep inlets of the bays. The jagged coastline, known as the Bay of Sixty-six Inlets, has an almost surreal appearance as though it were the imaginary scenery in the oft-told tales of pirates. Numerous coves and little bays offer incredible anchorages. This is a wondrous place with immense natural beauty. Here are some places you may visit in Gokova Bay... |

| English Harbor got its name because this is where British ships hid to escape the German submarines during WWII. This quiet, protected harbor is a great place for swimming and snorkeling. Pretty fish and starfish dwell here and the kids had a great time collecting the starfish and observing them. Of course we put them back so others can enjoy them as well. | |
| Tuzla is a wonderful place for swimming and the kids went fishing as well. | |
| Akbuk is one of the best anchorages in the area, enclosed within splendidly rich scenery and hidden behind a forested promontory. The excellent cozy restaurants are as good a reason as any to linger for a tasty meal after an afternoon of snorkeling and diving. | |
