Akvaryum Bay's waters are so clear the name needs no translation. A private gulet charter delivers you by sea to this natural aquarium, where you snorkel over Aegean reef, swim in perfect solitude, and lunch on deck with a cold glass of local Çavuş white.
What to expect
A traditional wooden gulet collects you from the harbour and motors along Bozcaada's southern coast, where the sea shifts through every shade of turquoise. At Akvaryum Bay you drop anchor in a natural cove sheltered from the Aegean swell — snorkelling gear is provided and the underwater visibility regularly exceeds 15 metres. Your crew serves a mezze lunch on deck with local wine. After swimming, the boat continues past Habbele Beach before returning to port.
Good to know
Arrange through a local guide contact or your hotel concierge on Bozcaada in advance; private boat charters book up quickly in summer. Best for ports with a 5+ hour call. Bring reef-safe sunscreen — the bay is a protected natural area.
