Exclusive EscapesHidden TurkeyBozburun Peninsula | The craggy mountainous Bozburun Peninsula is the real hidden Turkey. Almost a living museum, it provides an insight into life in rural Turkey much as it was 50 to 100 years ago. Even in the peak of summer, the peninsula remains peaceful and uncrowded. (Show more)
 The road leads south-west from Akyaka on the Bay of Gökova to two peninsulas: the northerly Datça Peninsula (known otherwise as Reşadiye) with its dramatic scenery, and the craggy mountainous untamed tendrils of the Bozburun (or Daraçya) Peninsula. The Peninsulas are a short drive, but a million miles away, from the unattractive sprawl of Marmaris. Unlike Marmaris, Bozburun and Datça’s mountains, woodland and coastal scenery have been heavily protected by conservation laws. The entire region is a living museum, providing an insight into life in rural Turkey much as it was 50 to 100 years ago. Even in the peak of summer, its beaches and interiors remain peaceful. Heavily wooded mountains – ideal for trekking – plunge down to a scattering of coastal villages and beaches. Remote ancient sites such as Amos, Loryma and Knidos wait to be explored. Village life is geared around agriculture, fishing and the building of the traditional gulet (still handmade in the boatyards of Sögüt, Selimiye and Bozburun). In short, this region provides an opportunity to experience a taste of the real, rural Turkey. |
