The boat slips free of Bodrum’s marina as gulls pick at the wake; sunlight strips the hills of shadow and the Aegean opens like a road to small, rocky bays. On an eight-hour “lazy day” cruise you move at the tempo of the sea—stop, swim, sun, and drift between limestone coves where the water turns unmistakably, brilliantly blue.
