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

Günlüklü Koyu has a lot of Günlük trees so naturally this is how the bay was named. This is another bay preferred by many local people who will visit during the weekend. This bay also has a spring, which can be reached by road from the Göcek and Dalaman direction. Inlets can be found around the bay for those who don’t like crowded places and are looking for peace and quiet.

It gets its name from the extremely rare Günlük Trees. Günlük trees (Sweetgum) are used in the production of pharmaceuticals and perfumes. The delicious scent wafting around the bay especially at sunrise and sunset comes from these trees, has large numbers of sweet-smelling sweetgum trees (Liquidambar orientalis). The secretion from these trees is used in the treatment of many illnesses, such as itching, asthma, bronchitis, ulcers and stomach disorders, as well as by the perfume industry.

Günlüklü Bay is a green natural wonder within the Günlük Trees which do not allow sunlight through. This green bay among the trees, is a place to picnic, lay on the hammocks and enjoy the sun. With a calm crystal sea, fine pebble beach Fethiye Günlüklü Bay, is the ideal location for a quiet and peaceful weekend with its tranquil atmosphere. One must not forget to mention that during the summer months boat tours and daily visitors fill the bay.

This cove is on N of Kargılı, ends in a shingle beach. There is a tasty well water behind greenary area. The settings are attractive. You can anchor in 10 m and take a line ashore. There is an outlet for the boats where you can fill up the tanks.

The 500-meter long beach has thin sands; the sea water deepens after 10 meters. Gunluklu Bay is a shallow sandy beach near sytrax forest. It has facility of picnic, shower and WC.  The visiters pays an daily entrance fee. There is also a club hotel with nice architecture and service. It is a matter of time to begin swimming with the groupers that leave their eggs here and are forbidden to hunt.

Camping
There is also a camp site in the Günlük tree forest. A delightful place for tent or caravan tourism. Basic requirements for campers such as water, electricity are provided. You can spend a few days in the Günlüklü Bay with its rare Sweetgum Forests, cool off in the Mediterranean and enjoy the sun. You can also go for a stroll and discover new places.

Gunluklu was once a very popular camping area with good quality facilities but now because of the trees have become quite rare they are now being protected by the local government which has made the bay more of a place used by daily visitors, caravaners and the gulet cruises, although the Department of National Parks continues to adequately operate it as a camping ground.

The Bay Beach Club
Günlüklü Bay is a private bay. The Bay Beach Club is the only settlement on the bay that spans an area of 200 thousand square meters. The facility with 46 wooden bungalows under the sweet gum trees is an option that can be considered by those who want to be refreshed and indulged with their pool, beach, hammocks and especially the spa where they use sweet gum tree oil.

Chickens, roosters, peacocks, and pigeons walk around freely on the grounds of the facility. Wild ducks and turtles swim in the lake happily.  The hotel has activities such as diving, sailing, angling, beach volleyball, horse safari, and trekking. Sailing courses are of great interest. For those who want to do trekking in pine forests, there are marked trails. Walk through the trails under the sweet gum trees; drink a glass of lemonade in a hammock; read a book at the banks of Sığla Lake; take a boat tour to the surrounding bays and the 12 Islands.

GPS : 40°42'10.9"N 27°18'32.2"E / 40.703015, 27.308951



Hoşköy is situated near the Mürefte region. Its former name was the "Hora Lighthouse." Tower is constructed out of iron sheet and girders originally brought over from France, and it bears its original structure in our days. Built by French engineers in 1861 by the order of Sultan Abdülmecid I, the Hora Lighthouse continues to enlighten the routes of the ships floating on the Sea of Marmara.

In 2017 it was reported in poor condition and in need of restoration. The Tekirdağ Metropolitan Municipality and Şarköy Municipality expressed some desire to acquire it as a tourist attraction.

Construction Date : 01.01.1861

Location : Located on the shores of the Marmara Sea in Tekirdağ, the lighthouse in Hoşköy was built by the French in 1861. Situated on a high hill.

Building : Cast iron tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-story keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white. This historic lighthouse, on the west side of the Sea of Marmara, guides ships into the Dardanelles. The Coastal Safety Directorate has the history of the station.

Light
Oil lamp has primarily been used and then high intense filament lamps work with LPCo as a light source and it is currently provided an illumination with the electric lamp of 1000 W. In order to be seen from the long distance by strengthen the light source, three pieces cotodiyoptric cylinder lenses which has optical distance of 375 mm as a optic system has been used.

Triangle optical panels had placed on circular platform which float on bath of mercury. Fixed light source illuminates on focus and when the optic is rotated on the platform it will give out flashes during the period of rotation.

It has weight that move vertically down on steel wires in the tower. As the weight falls, so the clock is driven and when the weight reaches the bottom, the clock stops unless the weight is wound back up to the top of its travel. So the lighthouse keepers had to wind up their lighthouse optic clock with a large winding handle attached to the mechanism that was located immediately below the optical system. This is look like clockwork mechanism at houses. Lighthouse keeper still winds mechanism at every third hour.

Above mentioned mechanism and optical panels has been under protection and still using in service. Lighthouse and guardian house is being under protection as national heritage by General Directorate of Coastal Safety and Salvage Administrations.

HİSARÖNÜ COVE ANCHORAGE

Fethiye - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°47'40.5"N 28°07'42.0"E / 36.794572, 28.128341



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Hisarönü is the richest village around Marmaris in terms of history. During Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman eras, common belief was that the clean sea and all green nature healed many diseases. With its area of 76 km2, Hisarönü is the biggest village of Marmaris, and among the largest in Turkey. Notable politicians and statesmen come to village for summer holiday.

On the plain called Pazarlık on Mount Eren, there are ruins of Kastabos city, which was a cult centre in ancient period. The existing remnants in Kastabos belong to Hemithea Temple. The temple served as a healthcare sanctuary where patients, especially childless women, were healed in their dreams. Hisarönü is considered as continuation of ancient city of Bybassos. This is why you can come across not only at higher sites, but also around the beach which was once used as a harbour.

Hisarönü is a tourist resort village in the Fethiye district of the Muğla Province of Turkey. It is situated at the western extreme of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and the southern extreme of the Aegean coast. Hisarönü is the most popular sea tourism site around Marmaris thanks to shallow waters and long beaches. The coastline is 115 km long. The ever-breezy weather and clean water is good for asthma and heart disorders. The breezy weather attracts also windsurfers and makes Hisarönü the best windsurfing venue in the region.

The geographical characteristic of the village is that the area where it is located on Datça-Bozburun peninsula sees Gulf of Gökova on one side and Gulf of Hisarönü on the other. İnbükü (Emel Sayın) Cove, Kartal Cove, Tavşan Island and Bencik Harbour are ideal for yachts. It is worth mentioning that Hisarönü coast is the best place to watch the sunset in Marmaris.

Between Hisarönü and Orhaniye there are a number of smaller coves, some with beach clubs, where you can spend a relaxing few hours sipping a cool refreshing drink as you soak up the stunning scenery and enjoy the peace. There are clubs and you may have horse riding safari in the shores and in the forests. The region have hosted the ancient city of Bybassos so you may take a history walk around the city remnants.

“Gökçopur”, a fish menu with vegetables, is a traditional local dish. We would also recommend you to get some cornbread from Hisarönü since the village is a master of craft. Other notable local products include honeydew honey and flower honey.

The sea is shallow and the sand is tile colored. People preferring a calm and quite holiday mostly chose Hisaronu region. The water and the fresh air in Hisaronu is very healthy for the people having asthma and heart diseases. During the season, the weather gets windy sometimes and this attracts the windsurfing fans.

DINING
Hisarönu has several restaurants and bars and a couple of mini-markets where you can stock up on essentials.

BEACH
There is a wide sandy beach backed by shady pine trees. There is almost always a refreshing breeze so you don’t have to swelter when you sunbathe. The water never duck-pond-still, which makes Hisarönü a popular choice for windsurfing and sailing and there is an excellent school in the village.

AĞA LİMANI ANCHORAGE

Dalaman - Muğla - Turkey



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

The twin bays of Ağa Limanı are a tempting place to drop anchor. This is a bay that many local people prefer to visit at weekends to rest with their families and have a picnic. There is a spring in the bay, which is available all year round. Wild animals also visit this bay when it is quiet to drink water and also to eat the food that has been left from the picnics.

You are able simply to relax, swim, try your luck at fishing or take even a long walk along the beach. The sea is extremely clean it and water is cooler than elsewhere as a result of the underwater source near the beach.

Ağa Limanı lies 1 Nm north of point; Kızılkuyruk Burnu, indents like a slingshot, with a creek at the head of each arm. The bay is open to east. The cove on the west is Büyük Koy, the one on the northwest is Küçük Koy. The coves in Ağa Limanı are favourite stopover ports for boats cruising north and westward. When heading that direction, raise your anchor early before the breeze gets up to avoid cross-swell and choppy seas around Point Kurdoğlu and Dişibilmez.

Sailing around the region of Marmaris while on your yacht or blue cruise will take you to many different places and none is as cosy and secluded as this little cove. It’s almost picture perfect because of how rustic is looks. Only a few boats can set anchor here at a time giving you enough privacy to enjoy the view of rocky slopes and the pine trees.

Most of the cruises that stop are heading either north or west. There is a small white sandy beach that you can swim ashore and then can sunbathe from, however, this bay lacks in facilities so bring along the things you might need. Water or some snacks for a picnic. Or better yet take a snooze right on the beach sand or hike to the nearby ruins.

Hiking up the slopes will also give you a stunning view of the entire cove. This is a popular stopover to relax in the tranquil waters before heading to more crowded areas. The sunset here is also quite romantic should you stick around long enough to see it.

GPS : 36°37'14.8"N 28°52'09.6"E / 36.620768, 28.869326
Küçük Koy ends in a shingle beach. Boats can anchor in 8 - 10 m off the beach and take a line ashore. Prevailing winds cause swell.

GPS : 36°37'04.7"N 28°52'08.4"E / 36.617969, 28.869004
Büyük Koy, extends to the east,  it narrows and ends in a shingle beach. The water is deep and gently shelves ashore. Boats drop anchor off the beach and get a line ashore to the beach side. Strong westerlies send in swell. Ease your chain as much as possible and pay attention to the rocky bottom in some parts. A rough path takes you to Köyiçi (800 m), where you will find Roman and Byzantine ruins.
