Selimiye is a pretty village on the Bozburun Peninsula, 35 km away from Marmaris. The Bozburun Peninsula is a national park so protected against high rise tourist developments and over development seen elsewhere in Kalkan and Kaş.
Many of the restaurants have tables that overlook the bay so you can enjoy a delicious meal next to the crystal-clear blue waters, or explore the historical ruins of three castles from the ancient city of Hydas. Selimiye is peaceful fishing village that seems to flow along a stunning bay, just along the coast from Turgutkoy and Orhaniye.
A beautiful bay surrounded by mountains, with wonderful clear blue sea and a unique waterfront. You can go on the small jetty in the village, or phone ahead and go on to Aurora's or Sardunia's jetty. Once you have got your yacht safely moored, then take a wander to explore all that Selimiye can offer you. Whether you want to just sit with a beer, have a wonderful meal, explore the excellent little shops selling really unusual jewelery, gifts or clothes, the choice is yours.
For such a small village, there are an abundance of places to eat and drink. Sardunia restaurant is renowned in Turkey by the Turkish, they travel all the way from Istanbul to stay and eat there. Superb fish cooked in a mound of salt is one of its specialities but whatever you eat, you will really enjoy. The atmosphere is wonderful, buzzing with many happy people and the staff are great. In August, it's best to book 2-3 days in advance as it is so popular.
Aurora is another lovely location to eat, right on the waterfront with Hussein and Suzanne giving you a warm welcome. They provide a wonderful Turkish Breakfast, which if you have never tried, you must! Also voted in the top three restaurants of our clients, one of their most popular evening dishes is cheesy beef. Strips of fillet beef wrapped around mozarella cooked on a skewer, and tastes as good as it looks.
Cere's coffee house sells an excellent fresh lemonade, probably the best coffee in the village as well as her delicious home made cakes.
