The Gulf of Hisaronu
Although the Gulf of Hisaronu offers a great contrast to the Gulf of Yesilova, with its much darker seas and much greener coast, surrounded by pine clad hills and mountains, it too is surrounded by a myriad of small bays and harbours which are great for lazy sailing and exploration.
Some of the more polular are:
|
Keci Buku (Goat Bay)
With a large marina offering water, power, showers, a launderette and a small supermarket, and only 30 minutes from Marmaris by dolmus, this is a good place to stop if you by-passed Marmaris but still want to do some heavy-duty shopping.
The village of Orhaniye offers several restaurants and is surrounded by the ruins of ancient Bybassos. There is also a small island which offers spectacular views of the bay.
|
Selimiye
Just south of Keci Buku is the smaller bay of Selimiye, largely unspoilt and with beautiful scenery. There are several small restaurants, one of them excellent, plus a bakery and a grocery in the village at the southern end of the bay.
|
Bencik
Looking rather like a miniature fjord, this inlet extends inland about 1.5 miles with steep wooded slopes on either side. There is no restaurant here so, unless you are eating aboard, this is just a lunch stop.
This is the narrowest point on the Datca peninsular but the wonderful views require a steep climb to get them.
|
Ciftlik
Ciftlik is a small bay with a beach, half way up the peninsula towards Datca, with a hotel and several restaurants. On the other side of the Adatepe headland is the more secluded Kuruca Buku.
