12 Islands Boat Tour

Which and Where are the 12 Islands?

Where and Where are the 12 Islands? 12 Islands are located within the borders of Muğla province in Turkey. To reach these islands, you should join the boat tours departing from Göcek or Fethiye. If you ask which of these tours should I prefer, I definitely recommend you to choose Gocek. I will explain the details more below. Now let’s come to the answer to the question which are the 12 islands.

Which are the 12 Islands?

1. Yassica Islands
2. Hamam Bay
3. Kursunlu Bay
4. Yavansu
5. Bedri Rahmi Bay
6. Tersane Island
7. Göbün Bay
8. Boynuzbükü
9. Göcek Island
10. Pig Island
11. Olive Island
12. Kızıl Island

These are the 12 beautiful islands. So do daily boat tours go to all of these islands? The answer is no. 12 Islands boat tours departing from Göcek go to 4 or 5 of these bays, while 12 Islands boat tours departing from Fethiye visit maximum 2 of these islands. In this context, Göcek is the most logical location to go to the 12 Islands. Anyway, turquoise coloured bay in this region means Göcek.

When you go to Gocek, you will see hundreds of yachts and boats. Fethiye 12 Islands boat tours also have very beautiful bays in my opinion. Nevertheless, your ranking should be Fethiye after Göcek. Even then your route should be Ölüdeniz. You can find the details in my articles below. If you join these 3 boat tours, you will become a waterfowl, I’m telling you 😂

12 Islands Boat Tour Route

Where is the 12 Islands Boat Tour Route? 12 Islands are the islands I mentioned above. But boat tours do not go to all of these islands. Daily boat tours go to an average of 3 of these islands. As I mentioned above, Fethiye 12 Islands boat tours go to less than the islands on this route. Because the distance between Fethiye and 12 Islands is much more.

The most ideal tour to visit these islands is Göcek 12 Islands boat tour. If you say I have to go to all of them, then you need to go on a boat tour with accommodation, that is, a blue tour. If you have plenty of time and budget, the blue tour is the best. You can get a price quote for both daily and overnight tours from the number I gave above. Whether you want to sail for a day or with accommodation, you should definitely sail the blue waters. The blues will be like a shife for your body and soul. Below you can find the general itinerary of the 12 Islands tour.

12 Islands Boat Tour Route

1. Bedri Rahmi Bay
2. Tersane Island
3. Yassica Islands
4. Göbün Bay
5. Boynuzbükü
6. Göcek Island
7. Pig Island

These routes are generally chosen by the captains on the 12 Islands tour. weather and the crowded condition of the bays directly affect the route. So there is no standard route that everyone follows. According to me, all of the bays on this route are beautiful. My favourites are Tersane Island, Yassica Islands and Göcek Island. You can find the details of some of these bays below.

12 Islands Boat Tour Experience

Bedri Rahmi Bay

One of the most well-known bays of the 12 Islands, Bedri Rahmi Bay is a fascinating place with its nature. Boat tours departing from Fethiye do not go to this bay. To go to this bay, you need to join the Gocek 12 Islands boat tour. The other name of Bedri Rahmi Bay is Taskaya Bay. The bay has a small and cosy pier. Bedri Rahmi also has a small fisherman restaurant serving in season.

Why was the bay named Bedri Rahmi? In 1974, the painter and writer Bedri Rahmi visited this place and started to be called Bedri Rahmi Bay after the picture he drew on a stone. Bedri Rahmi, who came here to eat fish with his friend, could not afford to pay the bill, so he agreed with the restaurant owner and made a fish figure on a rock here. Although this figure drawn on the rock looks like a fish, you can see that 6 animals are hidden in it.😊

Tersane Island

12 We came to Tersane Island, which has the most beautiful bays of the islands. This place has an exquisite turquoise coloured sea that will blow your mind. The largest island of the 12 Islands,  Tersane Island, got its name because it was used as a shipyard during the Ottoman period. There is no trace of the shipyard on the island now, but there are still ruins on the island. There are also the ruins of the old Greek settlements evacuated after the exchange. Boat tours departing from Fethiye and Göcek do not usually visit Tersane Island. The boats choose Aquarium Bay near here as a stop. Which is also a really legendary bay.

Yassica Islands

We came to Yassıca Islands, which is the common point of Fethiye 12 Islands tour and Göcek 12 Islands boat tour. This is the most special place of the 12 Islands. I think the view from the drone proves this very well. There is a natural lake at the tip of the Yassıca Islands, which has a worldwide reputation. You can find peddlers around this lake in summer. The sea of the island is quite calm. You can also go to the hill on the island to catch the view of the island and watch the exquisite view. The location of Yassıca Islands is here.

Zeytin Island

Among the 12 islands, Zeytin Island is an island where the boats do not stop in general, but only pass in parallel visually. Even if you see it from a distance, you fall in love with the island. The island, which takes its name from the olive trees it harbours on its land, has very beautiful bougainvillea. The nature of the island is so beautiful that you wish this island was mine. But you can’t because the island has an owner!

Olive Island is inhabited. So the island is owned. Although Zeytin Island initially belonged to Cem Uzan, it was confiscated due to its debts to the state. Afterwards, it was sold by tender and bought by businessman Ahmet Nazif Zorlu . Zorlu, who initially bought the Olive Island for investment purposes, later gave up this idea because he liked the island very much. Let me state that the helipad on the island is the point where Ahmet Abi’s helicopter landed. This is what wealth looks like 😂

Gocek Island

Gocek Island, which is the closest island to the centre of Gocek, takes you to the dream world with its clean sea and nature. If you are a person who likes swimming in the calm sea and spending peaceful time in nature, you should definitely visit Göcek Island, a natural wonder covered with pine trees. You can easily reach the beautiful bays of the island by boat. There are also many options where you can meet your needs on the island where there is a business. You can get here by sea taxis departing from the centre of Göcek at regular intervals. 12 Islands boat tours usually pass here in parallel. The location of the island is here.

Both of the day tours we participated in were very enjoyable and beautiful for us. Although the 12 Islands tours departing from Fethiye went to fewer of these islands, the other bays were also very beautiful. Turquoise coloured waters await you on both sides. If you have plenty of time, I recommend you to join the 12 Islands tour from both sides. If you don’t have a lot of time, I suggest you to prefer Gocek and Fethiye if you think about your budget.
