Why Start in Bozburun
Bozburun sits right inside the Gulf of Hisarönü, so the very first afternoon already brings you to a quiet anchorage. Distances are short, and most of the week is spent swimming and relaxing rather than sailing.
- Gulet heritage: Bozburun is known for building traditional wooden gulets.
- Calm bays: Selimiye, Kameriye Island and Kocabahçe are among the most sheltered anchorages on the coast.
- Datça Peninsula: A day in Datça and a night in Kargı Bay on the Mediterranean side.
