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.

An Ottoman fortress on the summit of Mount Aspat and ruins of an old Greek chapel on the slope welcome the traveller to this old fishing village of Akyarlar. It ıs 18 kilometres from Bodrum and used to a popular Greek summer resort long time ago as there are many old houses lined on the shore.

Windsurfing is a very popular watersport in Akyarlar. Akyarlar has a very friendly and relaxed holiday atmosphere.

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.

HARBOUR

The bay consists of the small harbour at one end and a curving sandy beach sloping down into the incredible blue of the Aegean. Opposite Akyarlar, 5 kilometres across the strait, there lies the Greek Island Cos. There are regular services from this Island to Bodrum. The bay of Akyarlar has a small harbour at one end and a curving beach running from it. There are restaurants lining the shoreline serving excellent locally caught fish dishes.

There is a shelter for fishing boats. The bottom is sand. Drop your anchor off the beach in the depths of 4 - 8 meters, pay attention that you are not obstructing shelter entry. Ease your chain carefully. Depts suddenly shallow to marshland. Crowded anchorage in summer. A large number of boats swing at anchor. Affords shelter from westerlies but, it is open to southerlies.

PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

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.

ASPAT BEACH
Rising out of the shores of the Aegean and mentioned often in Turkish folk music, the real name of Aspat is Aspartos. Evliya Çelebi writes of Aspat in his Chronicles. Built upon a barren rock, the perimeter of Aspat Castle measures 700 paces. Here one may see the remains of a civilizations dating back to the Classic Age and continuing up until the present day.

Aspat Bay is very popular mainly with private yacht owners as it is naturally protected from strong winds, the bays name is famous among the Turkish people as it is mentioned in an old folk song.

Visitors can be sailed to from Bagla Bay.

Places to Visit
King Mausolus built the ancient city of Termera here and up on the hill are the ruins of the   Castle of Aspat, which acted as a lookout point for pirates for many years when they occupied the cove; it is possible to walk up there, although it’s a rather difficult hike and takes about one hour to reach. There is also an old stone building at the shoreline that is believed to have been built by and Arab official who came from the Greek Island of Crete.

KARAİNCİR COVE ANCHORAGE

Akyarlar, Bodrum - Muğla - Turkey

GPS : 36°58'17.2"N 27°18'06.2"E / 36.971455, 27.301710



PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM

Karaincir lies between Koca Burun on the north and Aspat Bay / Aspat Castle on the west. Affords good shelter from breeze. The bay is surrounded by summer sites and restaurants. There are a few piers for the excursion boats of the restaurants. Karaincir is a favorite destination for daily boats of Bodrum. You can anchor in depths of 3 - 10 m. Strong winds send swell in. The bottom is good for holding. The water is cooler because of spring water sources.

Karaincir is a small village near Akyarlar on the south-west of the Bodrum Peninsula. Karaincir’s proximity to Aspat Hill and Koca Point, means it has a buffer on both sides from the off-shore winds. It’s nestled in the corner of this cove, making it an ideal sheltered cove for swimming. Karaincir is a quiet place where you can spend hours by sitting on the sandy beach and watching blue Aegean waters.

The sea floor goes slightly deeper as you walk toward the open sea. The shallow sea zone is quite long enough to have fun with your friends or children by playing games in the middle of the sea. The shore is divided between different restaurants and beach clubs. Each have their own sunbeds for their customers. They all offer food and soft / hard drinks. It’s better to be thirsty or hungry because if you want to use those sunbeds, you need to drink or eat something. Just check their prices before deciding where to seat.

Karaincir bay is a favorite layover port. There are a few piers along the coastline where you can sunbathe.
