Once you get over the hill next to Bagla you are in Aspat. The famous local traditional song of Çökertme tells of this region. The cove for many years was a shelter for pirates. The castle was built as a monitoring point. The old stone building on the shore is believed to have been constructed by an Arab official from the island of Crete.
Aspat Bay or Aspat Koyü is a pleasant place to anchor. There are several restaurants ashore. During the day there are a lot of boats from Bodrum In the evening these boats leave but the loud music from the shore establishments start. Anchor in 7 m. Reasonable holding.
Those who come with their yachts love this region as it is closed to the north west winds. It has fresh drinking water available for those who come themselves or by Yachts.
