Yedi Adalar is a group of  7 islands  in Gocek Bay – it appears that each individual island does not have a name but we moored at a spot called Bekarli Liman. The water is crystal clear turquoise blue. The view from the yacht was spectacular. But the first thing you notice, after the engines turn off, is the cacophony of the sea gulls that live on the rock island just ahead. Thousands of them. They seem to be talking and laughing and having a grand time. The children took off to snorkel – this was the best place so far for snorkeling. Many fish and very colorful ones too – and great shells. 
The adults decided to take a walk on the islands. The islands looked like dunes with fascinating vegetation and beautiful flowers of many colors (we were there in June). We also collected many tiny shells which we will use to cover eggs and use for Christmas ornaments. We walked around the island listening to the seagulls laugh at us until we reached a particular point at the end of the island where the seagulls started dive bombing the leader of out pack. We avoided that area and continued on back to the boat with our booty of shells. Even with the mishap, it was a wonderful walk and I highly recommend it.
