Türkbükü

It is a wide natural harbor between Kesire Point and Saplı Point. There are different locations and facilities available for mooring and sheltering. 

Göltürkbükü on the eastern part of the harbor is exposed to the meltemi, it can be stayed for a day visit in suitable weather. Here, anchor is dropped at 6-10 meters. It is more appropriate to moor stern-to shore in front of the point on the western side of the bay.

Büyük Island and Küçük Island are located close to the western shore of Türkbükü Harbor. The area between these islands and the shore is quite deep.  

This channel, which continues from the south of Kesire point to opposite Küçük Island, can be moored stern-to shore on the shore side. It is a sheltered mooring location and relatively away from the noise of Türkbükü.

The sea in front of Türkbükü town is deep and unsuitable. Anchoring and holding is quite difficult. 

The shallowness of a stream also extends into this deep area. 

Türkbükü is a town where heavy land and sea traffic is experienced, especially during summer months. It is virtually the nightlife center of the Bodrum Peninsula. For this reason, especially many motor yachts are moored here all summer. Since the density of the mooring buoys they have placed prevents those who want to anchor, 80 buoys have been placed in the bay by associations. Private buoys have also been removed.

On the shore, there is a shelter operated by the fisheries cooperative. Inside the shelter, the breakwater side is 3-4 meters deep. The shore side is shallow and reserved for small boats. Boats can also moor stern-to shore on the outer side of the shelter. Since its capacity is limited, this shelter is generally full. 

If you want to reserve a place in advance, you need to call the fisheries cooperative. There are mooring buoys. At the shelter, an official will meet you, electricity and water will be connected. 

Since the shelter is located within Türkbükü town, it has access to all shopping facilities. Inside the shelter, there is a place belonging to the fisheries cooperative where fresh fish is sold and 1 launderette.

Türkbükü is 20 km from Bodrum and 45 km from Bodrum Milas Airport by road. Regular minibus services and taxis are available.

In Türkbükü, there is a Health Center, Gendarmerie Station,  and ATMs of many banks.

The town is under the influence of light shows and overlapping high-volume music until late at night. "I'll endure it", "I'll also have fun" or "I like this" - let this be noted for those who say so.
