From Kuşadası to Bodrum

Kuşadası boasts wonderful seafood restaurants, lively bars and cafes, beautiful parks and superb beaches. The shopping is rich with everything from beads and bangles to leather, jewellery and carpets.

Kuşadası Turban Marina is one of the best-equipped in Türkiye, with wintering facilities for boats both afloat and on shore. The town is also renowned for its nightlife, thanks to its numerous bars, jazz clubs, discos and cabarets.

South of Kuşadası, the beautiful waters of the Dilek Peninsula National Park welcome yachts into its serene inlets and coves. The Temple of Apollo in Didim was once a sacred site, and although looted and burned many times in its history, it still has an elegant beauty. Nearby, Altınkum’s beautiful beach tempts visitors with sailing, swimming and relaxation.

The fishing village of Güllük has an attractive port and numerous guest-houses and small hotels, and a little further north in Kıyıkışlacık is said to be the birthplace of the mythological Dolphin Boy. The Bodrum Peninsula comes into view while sailing out of this gulf.
