This charming little place was built in April 2008. It is located just outside the picturesque little fishing village of Bozburun, on the hillside of Adatepe, at the opposite side of the small bay. It has the highest location of all houses, with a gorgeous view of the sea and the bay. From our place you can actually see the houses on the Greek island of Symi, 18 kilometers away, as well as Bozburun harbor entrance and village! The distance to the sea shore is 200 meters and the elevation is 40 meters. Our house is 60 square meters with 2 bedrooms, a large living room with an open kitchen with fridge/freezer and a combined gas/electric stove. The bathroom has a shower and a washing machine. The master bedroom, with window/door to the terrace, has a queen size bed and the smaller bedroom has two-story single beds. The large angled sofa in the living room can be turned into a bed with room for two persons. In total the house sleeps 6 persons but mostly convenient with 4 people. The south-west faced, wooden terrace with a bamboo roof, covers the full length of the house, facing the sea and the sun-set. At the south garden side of the house there is a pergola with a bamboo roof and a stone BBQ. At the north side of the house is the small pool with a wooden sun-deck area which was built in spring 2013. You can enjoy the fantastic sea view and the sunset from almost anywhere at our place, indoors or outdoors. To reach the house, you walk 300 meters on a small dirt road from where the road ends at hotel Mete. The last 100 meters is a quite steep dirt track, but you will be greatly rewarded when you arrive. The first thing you will see after entering the gate is our specially designed pool area with the 3 meter in diameter round pool with a wooden deck area. It has an environmental- and body-friendly cleaning system. The house has no air conditioning system but the Meltemi wind, coming directly from the open sea, passes through the windows during the day. In the evening, the mountain wind makes a cool breeze in the opposite direction. There are some electric fans that can be used during the night hours, if required. Bozburun is a small seaside village with 2000 inhabitants, 55 km from Marmaris. It is as far out on the Turkish mainland you can get, opposite to the Greek island of Symi, 18 km away. The tourists who come to Bozburun are mainly Turks from the big cities, wanting to relax at a peaceful and un-spoilt seaside village and all those who are sailing or on a Blue Voyage (Gulet cruise) along the coast. This coast (from Bozburun to Bodrum) is probably the cleanest and most beautiful part of the Turkish Aegean with all the small bays and peninsulas and the Greek Dodecanese islands. The area is perfect for sailing, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking and hiking. Bozburun has managed to maintain its quiet and cozy atmosphere with locals continuing with the traditions of fishing, bee keeping and boat-building although more and more hotels, restaurants and small pensions has been opened lately along the shores of the bay. Bozburun, and especially the exclusive Adatepe area where our house is situated, is recommended for people who are looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. The only things you will hear when you wake up in the morning are the birds, the roosters, the sheep walking all over the hillside and the sound of the old fishing boats. It may be challenging to walk the last bit of way to the house, especially if it is hot, which is why we don´t recommend the place for small children or people who are not in good physical condition.Please feel free to ask us anything. We will be happy to help and answer your questions. You can reach Bozburun by flying into Dalaman airport (105 km to Marmaris) or Milas Bodrum airport (125 km to Marmaris). There are airport coaches from Dalaman to Marmaris bus station. The local bus (Dolmus) links Marmaris to Bozburun 5 times per day during the summer season. It takes around 1 hour and is a 55 km trip from Marmaris to Bozburun.Car rental services are available in Dalaman, Marmaris and Bozburun for those who like to travel independently. We can also arrange air-port transportation from Dalaman or Marmaris to Bozburun. At arrival in Bozburun, our local guide (English and Swedish speaking) will escort you to the house. .

    Pete's Turunҫ Guide 2020

    Pete’s Turunҫ Guide 2020 Dısclaimer Firstly, Please be aware : This guide is intended to give a flavour of only our times holidaying in and around and now living in Turunҫ. (pronounced Turunch) It is heavily biased on our own experiences and preferences. This may not be everyone’s opinion! Check out : www.myturunc.com for more information. Turkish people & Culture Contrary to some people’s opinion (usually those who have never visited Turkey before), the Turkish people are very proud people. They are very nationalistic and love their flag. You will see the flag flying all over Turkey and many statues, and pictures of their ‘Father’ - Ataturk. They are extremely family oriented and are very fond of children and in return the children show much respect for their elders. Conscript is still operated in Turkey, a practise that teaches discipline and respect at the right time in life for most Turkish people. The Muslim religion has to be admired, it is mostly about caring for others and they do not condone the extremists view. Ramadan is practised by choice, even when it’s 50ºC! This is so that they experience what it is like to be without. Since we have moved here, we are discovering how kind and helpful the local Turkish folks are......... especially so during our enforced Covid19 isolation. Background. September 2019 was our 21st visit to Turunҫ since 2003, just prior to moving here to our little corner of paradise permanently. We used to holiday in Turunç nearly every year and sometimes twice in the same year.

    One Week Sailing Marmaris – Bozukkale - Marmaris

    ONE WEEK SAILING MARMARIS – BOZUKKALE - MARMARIS Day: 1 Marmaris/Marmaris (0 h)) Marmaris situated where the Mediterranean and Aegean seas meet lies in a natural harbour surrounded by pine forests stretching down to the waterfront. Marmaris is one of Turkey' s premier vacation resorts, built around a sweeping natural bay at the foot of a steep mountain slope. The old town is a maze of twisting little streets and alley ways with whitewashed houses amid an excellent shopping bazaar. The beautiful harbour water front hosts many restaurants and bars where you can relax and take in the spectacular view. One look at the yachts in the harbour will tell you that Marmaris is a stylish and cosmopolitan resort. The traffic-free promenade stretching from the marina all the way round the bay to Icmeler has a sophisticated 'Riviera' feel to it, that is vaguely reminiscent of St.Tropez. Day: 2 Marmaris/Ciftlik (1h20) Fifteen miles east of Loryma, Ciftlik (ancient Phalarus) is a beach village set in a striking mountain cul-de-sac. This is a very convenient first stop if you are cruising from Marmaris towards Bodrum. The bay is very well protected and has numerous jetties and restaurants around the shore. There are limited provisions available here and if you are lucky you may be able to buy fresh fish straight from the fishermen. We have regularly experienced particularly strong winds on the passage from Marmaris along with the neighbouring anchorage at Gerbeske, so be watchful! Day: 3 Ciftlik/Bozukkale (1h20) Every yacht is sure to call at Bozukkale, which is located 15nm from Marmaris.

  • The Conditions and Problems of Turkish Yacht Tourism S. Incaz

    Maritime Engineering and Ports II, C.A. Brebbia & J. Olivella (Editors) © 2000 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISBN 1-85312-829-5 The conditions and problems of Turkish yacht tourism S. Incaz Guner& N. Guler Department of Maritime Transportation and Management Istanbul Technical University Maritime Faculty Tuzla/tstanbul/TURKEY Abstract The total length of coastal line of Turkey is 8300 km. Being a peninsula, Turkey is rounded by four seas as the Mediterranean, the Aegean Sea, the Marmara and the Black Sea. Turkish coasts are very proper for yacht tourism. Yachting tourism, being a part of maritime sector, tends to play a part in the tourist activities and provides important resources for the general economy. In order to increase the rate of yacht tourism within the general tourism infrastructure, investments, education, marketing and suitable encouragements are necessary. In addition to these, yacht tourism is an alternative way of investment instead of housing projects. Due to these, in this study the ways for improving the capacity of yacht tourism in Turkey will be considered by studying the routes of yachting in Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. Also the statistical figures related with Turkish yacht tourism will be analyzed. Since the improvement of the yacht tourism is important for Turkey, the conditions and problems of yacht tourism will be explained and as a conclusion, suggestions will be given for the further development of yacht tourism in Turkey in this paper. 1 Introduction Yacht tourism means the type of tourism which consist of "yacht management", "yachter", "yacht manufacture" and "yacht harbour". The phenomenon gains a social and an international character due to the yachts which travel to different countries and sail on the seas.
