Blue Trip

by traveloturc

The traditional ‘Blue Journey or trip ’ was first realized as a culture trip on the sea by a group of turkish intellectuals in the 1960’s. They named it “Blue Journey”. During those trips, stopping at small bays on the Aegean and the Mediterranean coasts, they used to do all the work on the boat themselves, such as cooking, cleaning in turn and naming this cooperation “imece” traditionally (work and share together). They disembarked often in order to see the ancient ruins and remains. They had long talks and discussions on history, mythology, poetry, painting etc. Coincidantly one of those intellectual was my teacher at the college.I also had the chance to do this journey more than 10 times...
With the development of tourism in the region, the blue journey of the intellectuals became popular. They started to organize one-day, seven day or longer trips.
You can choose the way of Gokova Bay or around Marmaris and Fethiye .A longer one includes Kekova
The most popular blue journey tours from Marmaris are as follows:
Marmaris-Bodrum-Marmaris (8 or 14 days)
Marmaris-Bodrum (8 days)
Marmaris-Knidos-Marmaris (8 days)
Marmaris-Fethiye-Marmaris (8 days)

When in Marmaris, it is worth visiting the impressive remains of Amos which are within easy reach from practically anywhere in Marmaris town and the major beach resorts.

Dating back to hellenistic times, the ruins include a hillside amphitheatre, a temple and statue pedestals.

Monthly Marmaris Amphitheater Programme is available online in the summer months. Each summer Marmaris schedules many events. The amphitheatre in Armutalan has many concerts well worth seeing.

"Marmaris"

We were abit cautious of going on holiday to Turkey, as we'd had mixed reactions from friends who have visited before. We were pleasantly surprise, it is a beautiful country and the people are so friendly and helpful
