How should you pack for an Olympos boat tour?
On the Olympos coast, the sun can feel stronger at sea, a day may include several swimming stops and the breeze can feel cool after you leave the water. Pack a compact, soft-sided bag that is easy to stow instead of a large rigid case.
Start with broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen, a secure hat, a sunglasses strap, a refillable water bottle, swimwear, a quick-dry towel if the operator does not provide one, and a dry shirt or light layer.
What to consider before you choose
Non-slip sandals or water shoes are useful on a wet deck. Add a waterproof pouch for your phone and documents, a portable charger and any personal medication you regularly use. If you are considering motion-sickness medicine, check that it is suitable for you with a health professional or the product instructions beforehand.
Ask the operator whether towels, food, drinks and snorkelling equipment are included. Keep valuables to a minimum, take all single-use waste ashore and follow the captain's safety decision if conditions require a route change.
