Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level.

PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Akyarlar is in the often overlooked south-western corner of the Bodrum Peninsula, and is due south of Turgutreis. Akyarlar has a secluded bay, with a birds eye view of the tip of Cos Island. Akyarlar is also a anchor-stop, on day boats from Turgutreis taking the southern tour, and we stopped here for afternoon tea and cake during our trip. In the afternoons, this part of the Peninsula can get decidedly windy.

Akyarlar is situated at the south-western part of Bodrum Peninsula facing the Greek Island of Cos The bay has a selection of restaurants and cafes, and there’s a small beach with loungers, as well as a small harbour jetty where you can take a day boats around this part of the coastline.

The cove of Akyarlar is in 22 km from the centre of Bodrum. It stretches between Akyarlar and Koca Points, one and a 1/2 km to the east. Akyarlar Point is the eastern end of the Bodrum Peninsula, where slices of white rocks form ravines. This is the closest point to the Greek island of Cos. The distance is only 5 kilometres. Akyarlar, which is located on the eastern shore of the cove, used to be a village of fishermen and sponge divers.

Care is needed on the rocky shallows Paşa Kayalıkları on the west and the reefs extending out 200 meters from the middle part of the peninsula ended with Koca Burun. Once you get to the waterfront there is the fisherman’s cottage on the right and restaurants in the centre and the moon shaped beach on the left.
