The coast line between Bodrum and Antalya is the most popular cruising area of Turkey. To the south-east of Bodrum is the GÖKOVA BAY with its numerous and spectacularly beautiful inlets, renown as a wonder of nature.

The remains of the once great city KNIDOS are situated at the tip of the DATÇA PENINSULA. HÍSARÖNÜ BAY, south of the Datça Peninsula, is a delightful place with many inlets and islands to explore and enjoy.

Beyond Hisarönü is the popular resort of MARMARÍS, a bustling town with a large and modern marina, numerous shops, restaurants and bars.

The last nesting ground of the endangered Mediterranean Loggerhead Turtles, the famous Iztuzu beach lies to the east of Marmaris.
