About this tour
A relaxed full day along the western Karaburun coast. You visit the Blue Cave, then continue to Grama Bay with its ancient rock inscriptions and deep, clear water. Several swimming stops are included. A light lunch with local food is available as an optional add-on (€20 per person), arranged when you book. Because it is prepared locally, it cannot always be provided on trips with only a few guests, and we will let you know in advance.
