Best known and utilised for its yacht harbour, boat building and repairs, the village of Bozburun has a stunning setting and is also famous for pine, flower and thyme honey. Its isolated location and peaceful atmosphere has attracted people escaping city life, and is especially popular with Turkish tourists.
There are buses from Marmaris, 50 km away, which makes a pleasant day trip, and there are many interesting walks in the surrounding countryside. Although there are no proper beaches, it is possible to swim off the rocks. There is a revered 1000 year old tree, one of the oldest in the country. The village gets more crowded during the International Bozburun Gulet Festival, 26 – 28 October. ,
