Tour Program
01 Mavi Mağara (Blue Cave)
Tucked beneath towering cliffs, the Blue Cave is one of Ölüdeniz’s hidden gems. As your boat glides into the cave’s opening, sunlight pierces the water, illuminating the cave in a glowing shade of blue. This stunning natural formation is perfect for a short swim or to simply marvel at the vivid color contrasts between the sea, rock, and light.
02 Kelebekler Vadisi (Butterfly Valley)
Nestled between steep limestone cliffs, Butterfly Valley is a protected natural reserve accessible only by sea. It is famous for the 80+ butterfly species that inhabit it during spring and early summer, including the rare Jersey tiger moth..
03 Deve Plajı (Camel Beach)
A quiet and secluded beach named after a nearby rock formation resembling a camel. Its calm, shallow waters are ideal for swimming or floating leisurely under the sun. This is one of the less crowded stops, giving you the chance to relax and enjoy a more private seaside moment.
04 Soğuk Su (Cold Water Bay)
Located at the point where icy mountain springs mix with the sea, Cold Water Bay offers a truly refreshing dip. The sudden shift in temperature creates a thrilling contrast, making it one of the most memorable swim spots on the tour. The dramatic surrounding cliffs add to the raw beauty of this untouched cove.

This historical island is believed to be the resting place of St. Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus. Scattered along its hills are Byzantine church ruins, ancient tombs, and remains of homes that date back to the 4th century AD.

True to its name, Aquarium Bay boasts crystal-clear water with visibility so high you can see fish swimming around your feet. This calm and shallow cove is perfect for snorkeling and spotting marine life or just floating peacefully as the sun sparkles on the water.
