DAY 1

Either you aim for an anchorage in the Gulf of Ildir or head straight to the island, Oinousses.

Oinousses is a tiny beautiful island characterised by the impressive stone houses, which help give the island an element of aristocratic finesse.

The Maritime museum of Oinousses is housed within the mansion of the Laimos family. It was founded in 1965 with the intention of presenting the rich naval history of the island, with exhibits including model ships, paintings, nautical instruments, documents and books, all relating to the maritime tradition of the island.

Eski Foca

On the second day, you will then sail around Cape Karaburun to Eski Foca.

Sitting below the Genoese castle is the waterfront, which has a good selection of shops and restaurants. The Ottoman-Greek houses fronting the Küçük Deniz are among the finest on the Aegean coast, with doors that open to a storybook esplanade, where locals and visitors play at or enjoy al fresco dining.

Bademli Limani

DAY 3

From Eski Foca, the trip takes you further north to the bay of Bademli Kalem, which sits between Eski Foca and the Turkish mainland.

Anchor at this beautifully sheltered bay, which is surrounded by olive groves and beautiful surroundings.

Bademli - Ayvalik

DAY 4

Ayvalik is located opposite of Lesbos on the south side of the Edremit Gulf. The archipelago is very beautiful.

Wander a few streets back from the waterfront and you will discover an old Greek village, with boutique hotels concealed with colourful shuttered doors, mosques converted from Greek Orthodox churches and historic cafes.

Ayvalik - Cesme Marina

DAY 5

Going back south from Ayvalik to the starting point, Cesme Marina, where it offers good anchorages.

Here you find yourself in this simple but magical site, with the small country chapel of Agios Ermogenis perched on top of a rock anda very romantic path next to the sea. The beach is quite small but still worth a visit.

Have a drink in the little taverna and relax in the peaceful atmosphere.
