Bozburun - mainly visited by sailors and enthusiastic hikers

Bozburun is a traditional seaside village set on the Loryma Peninsula, which is situated to the east of Datca, among the green mountains. The Loryma Peninsula is thinly populated and mainly visited by sailorsand enthusiastic hikers.

Best known and utilised for its yacht harbour, boat-building and repairs, the village of Bozburun has a stunning setting and is also famous for pine, flower and thyme honey. To stroll among the small shops and lovely restaurants by the water, or watch the boat builders will give a lot of pleasure to those who like an intimate atmosphere. Its isolated location and peaceful atmosphere has attracted people escaping city life, and it is especially popular with Turkish tourists.

It is about 45 minutes from Marmaris by car and can also be reached by local bus, which makes a pleasant day trip, and there are many interesting walks in the surrounding countryside.

Although there are no proper beaches, it is possible to swim off the rocks. There is a revered 1000-year- old tree in the village, one of the oldest in the country. The village gets more crowded during the International Bozburun Gullet Festival at the end of October.
