Places to Visit

Beach

A sheltered bay with calm, clear water and a long sandy strip. One of the safest swimming spots on the Marmaris coast, within easy walking distance of the property.

Beach

A quieter bay backed by a village that has not grown into a resort. Fewer people than İçmeler, calmer water, and a handful of waterfront restaurants.

History

A Rhodian settlement from the 4th century BC, perched on a hill above Turunç. The ruins are modest but the view over the bay and out to the Greek islands is the reason most people make the climb.

Bay

A small bay on the Bozburun Peninsula with clear water and almost no development behind it. Reachable by road or included as a stop on many daily boat tours.

Beach

A sandy beach in the Marmaris National Park area, where pine trees run close to the waterline. Development is restricted, which keeps it in better condition than many busier beaches.

Village

A small harbour village on the Bozburun Peninsula with waterfront restaurants and pine hills behind. Long popular with the sailing community, and still quiet enough to be worth the drive.

Island Beach

A white-sand beach on Sedir Island, only reachable by boat. Enclosed, calm, and small. Several day-tour operators include it as a stop — check before booking that the boat actually lands.

Beach

A long, sandy beach near Akyaka with cooler Aegean water. Less crowded than the Marmaris coast beaches and worth pairing with a stop in Akyaka town itself.

Nature

A spring-fed river that stays around 20°C even in August, running into the sea at Akyaka. Clear water, canoes, and cold swimming at the mouth — one of the more unusual things in the region.

Beach

A long, undeveloped beach on the Datça Peninsula with clean Aegean water. The roads in are rough in places, which is part of why it has stayed quiet. Allow a full day.
