Adventure tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreenThe sun is strong on open water—choose a high-SPF, biodegradable formula to protect your skin and the marine environment.

Wear water shoesShingle beaches and ladders off the boat are easier on your feet with grippy shoes.

Stow cash for souvenirsSmall vendors and extra drinks at the dock often accept only cash—carry some Turkish lira.

Prepare for motionIf you get seasick, take preventative medication before boarding; the boat has limited shelter during choppy conditions.

Recommended gear

Swimsuit and quick-dry towel: Essential for multiple swim stops and sunbathing on deck.
Water shoes: Protects feet on pebbled beaches and wet ladders when boarding.
Light windbreaker or long-sleeve shirt: Evening breezes or early-morning transfer can be cool on open water.
Dry bag and small backpack: Keeps phone, wallet, and spare clothes dry during swim stops.
