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. In ancient times there was a shipyard here. Entering the bay, the citadel walls of the ancient city of Loryma that used to be here can be seen on the western side and is truly a magnificent site. The harbor at Bozukkale was also used during Roman and Byzantine times and by the Knights of Rhodes as well. The inlet is much larger than nearby Serce, and you will find an even greater collection of beach view restaurants. The view is fantastic with the citadel, and the Byzantine ruins all in sight, backed by the mountains definitely one of our favourites. Day: 4 Bozukkale/Bozburun (1h20) Ensconced among the green mountains of the Datca Peninsula, Bozburun is a charming little harbour at the end of some wonderful sheltered bays. This splendid area is thickly forested with pine trees and the sweat smell of frankincense lingers in the air. It is totally sheltered by the hills and mountains behind it. While it is possible to swim, there is no official beach in Bozburun. It is fascinating to watch the ship builders on the waterfront assemble the wooden skeletons of embryonic boats in the shadows of the towering cliffs that stand guard over Bozburun. Day: 5 Bozburun/Datca (2h30) It is the largest village and the only one of its size on this part of the coast besides Bozburun. Datca is a very picturesque village that is still rather untouched by tourists it is also the main harbour for provisioning between Bodrum and Marmaris and is a must, if you pass this way. The inhabitants of this region make their living by growing and selling olives, almonds, honey and garden fruits and vegetables, catering particularly to tourism. The almonds of Datça are particularly prized in the region. Day: 6 Datca/Serce Limani (3 h) Serce Limani is located 13nm from Gerbekse and is situated on the southern side of the Bozburun Peninsula, on the banks opposite Rhodes. The harbour has a magnificent gate carved from stone. It is a safe haven for boats. The waters of the bay are clean and clear. In an underwater survey, a shipwreck dating to the 11th century BC was discovered here. The ship had once been carrying a glass cargo. Artifacts brought up to the surface have been sent to the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology. This discovery has made Serçe Limani a well- known venue. Day: 7 Serce Limani/Marmaris (3 h) Back to the base in the afternoon. Day: 8 Marmaris Disembarkation at the base. .

  • Blue Cruise Turkey
    BLUE CRUISE along the Aegean coast of Turkey The Blue Cruise is ordinarily advertised as renting a private yacht (with captain and sta# on board), cruising along the southwestern coast of Turkey, making stops to swim, hike and see historical ruins. This sounds exciting but it misses the atmosphere of the Blue Cruise that is almost spiritual. As you board your yacht, you also cut the mental ties with land. You embark on a di#erent existence, as if nothing else matters outside your yacht, or even exists for that matter. What makes the Blue Cruise unique is the lack of requirements and responsibilities - at last the freedom to do absolutely nothing and with it, a complete freedom of mind. You can gaze at the sea for hours on end, you can swim everyday, sleep all day or you can finish that book that you weren’t able to finish for ages because of the lack of time. However if you want “action” to spend your time, you will never be at a loss to find yourself activities to try either. When the yacht is anchored, you can discover nearby coves by canoes; you can cover greater distance than swimming and its good exercise for your biceps! Or you can hail down one of the speed boats that tour the coves and bargain for water skiing, jetskis or banana rides. And it goes without saying that you can hike and climb to your heart’s content the pine and olive covered hills that rise from the shore to discover historical ruins from Lycians, Anatolian Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans.

  • Lifestyle Migration to Turkey
    LIFESTYLE MIGRATION TO TURKEY: EU CITIZENS LIVING ON THE TURKISH SUNBELT1 İlkay Südaş, PhD [email protected] EGE UNIVERSITY, FACULTY OF LETTERS, DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY, TURKEY Lifestyle migration terms the migration movement of relatively affluent individuals moving voluntarily to the places where they believe they can lead a better life. This is a form of migration that emerges related to rapid globalization and there is a strong nexus between lifestyle migration and tourism. Repeating previous tourist visits to the destinations are the main connection with the migration areas and purchasing second homes is a “stepping stone” (Casado-Diaz 2012) towards permanent or seasonal retirement migration. Friends and relatives already living in the destination are also influential in migration decision. O’Reilly and Benson (2009, 2) point out that the previous research has attempted to link the mobilities to wider phenomena using umbrella concepts such as retirement migration, leisure migration, international counter-urbanization, second home ownership, amenity seeking or seasonal migration. Combining these different conceptualizations, O’Reilly and Benson (2009) suggest the term “lifestyle migration” which is described as the migration movement of “relatively affluent individuals, moving, en masse, either part or full time, permanently or temporarily, to countries where the cost of living and/or the price of property is cheaper; places which, for various reasons, signify a better quality or pace of life. Lifestyle migrants are individuals with high mobility, permanently or seasonally relocating to the areas in pursuit of a better way of life. The seasonal or permanent migration of elderly northern Europeans towards the coastal areas of Southern European countries like Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece has become an important phenomenon.

  • 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.

Platform karbonatları altta genellikle iri kristalli ikincil dolomitlerle başlar. Bunlar üste doğru fenestral fabrikli pelloidal karbonat istiftaşlarına; daha üstte ise karbonat vaketaşlarına geçerler. Dolomitlerin üstündeki bu birimler yoğun biyoklast içerir. Karbonat istiftaşı-vaketaşlan gelgit düzlüğü altı ortamlarda gelişmişlerdir. Bol megalodontlu ve pelletli karbonatlar olasılıkla şelf lagünlerinde durulmuşlardır. Çalışma alanının güneyindeki kesitlerde karbonatlar çökme breşi, algal kireçtaşı ve biyoklastca zengin kireçtaşı düzeylerinden oluşan istif loferitik bir siklotemle temsil edi- lir.
