CRUISING & SAILING AREAS OF TURKISH COAST
From Bodrum to Marmaris: The undisputed hot-spot of the Aegean Coast, Bodrum is a swinging, singing, dancing town and its bohemian atmosphere gathers together Turkey's artists, intellectuals and lovers of the good life. An impressive medieval castle built by the Knights of Rhodes guards the entrance to Bodrum's dazzling blue bay, in which the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas meet. The Castle of St Peter (Bodrum Castle) now houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Shopping here is a delight for souvenirs hunters, and the Bodrum Turban Marina is one best-equipped in the region. One of the best anchorages is the scenic Akbuk, hidden behind a forested hill. Sedir Island (ancient Cedrai) boasts an incredible beach with fine sand scattered with fossils, and great views of the Kiran Mountains across the bay. The town of Datca has become a popular stopover for yachts, and offers many seafood restaurants, pubs and discos.
