Historic Sunset Cruise in İzmir
Embark on a breathtaking sunset cruise through İzmir Bay, blending historical allure and stunning sea views, ideal for history and nature lovers.
- Your date starts at the Alsancak Pier where you board a beautifully restored historic style sailboat. The gentle breeze and the calming sound of the sea set a romantic mood as you sail away from the coast.
- As the boat glides through the azure waters, you can explore the deck with your partner, taking turns looking through the binoculars provided on board to sight historical landmarks along the coast like the ancient Kadifekale castle and the picturesque Kordon.
- As the sun begins to set, casting golden hues across the sky, enjoy a specially prepared dinner on deck. The menu features local specialties, perfectly complementing the stunning panoramic views of İzmir’s coastline lit by the last rays of the sun.
Preparation steps:
- Book the sunset cruise well in advance to ensure availability, as these tours can be quite popular, especially during tourist season in İzmar.
- Dress comfortably but remember to bring a light jacket as it might get breezy on the water. Opt for flat shoes as you'll be walking on the deck.
- Arrive at Alsancak Pier at least 30 minutes early to ensure a smooth boarding process and to enjoy some time strolling around the pier with its picturesque views before departure.
