Cruise to Black Island and indulge in natural therapeutic mud baths heated by volcanic thermal springs, believed to rejuvenate skin and ease tensions. Combine this unique wellness experience with swimming in pristine turquoise coves and exploring the island's geological wonders and natural beauty. Hotel pickup in Bodrum and the drive to the harbour are arranged for you, so the day begins without hunting for a taxi. Expect long swim stops in sheltered bays, an unhurried mud session on the island and plenty of deck time in between — bring a towel, sandals you can get muddy and strong sun cream. Late spring to early autumn suits this trip best.

Discover the imposing Castle of St. Peter, a magnificent medieval fortress housing the fascinating Museum of Underwater Archaeology, then wander through charming whitewashed streets of Bodrum's old town. This cultural walking tour reveals centuries of maritime heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and authentic Mediterranean atmosphere. We collect you from your hotel or the marina area and return you afterwards, so the narrow lanes of the old town are yours to explore on foot. Wear shoes with grip for the castle's stone ramps and steps, and bring water and a hat — the courtyards catch full sun by midday. Late afternoon is the most pleasant slot, ending with the harbour and the whitewashed streets in warm light.
