The United States and Germany, both allies of Turkey, have labelled the gas exploration mission a "provocation" and urged Ankara to recall the ship.
But Turkey has defied international calls and sent its research vessel Oruc Reis back to the region.
Erdogan said the drillship Yavuz would also return to the eastern Mediterranean after maintenance at the port.
He warned that plans that disregard the interests of Turkey and the breakaway northern Cyprus would not succeed.
