The day begins in Kemer harbor as the boat slips free and the Mediterranean opens like a bright, impatient companion. Salt air pushes at your face, the Taurus Mountains stand backlit, and within an hour the coastline softens into white sand and impossible turquoise: Suluada. You’ll disembark onto powder-soft beaches, float in glass-clear bays, and peer into caves where sunlight pierces the water and turns the seabed electric.
