Full Description & Details
Baklabuku Koyu is a quiet anchorage on the Marmaris side of Turkey's Turquoise Coast, tucked into a stretch of shoreline framed by pine slopes and a thin, stony beach. The water is clear close in, with rocky edges that suit snorkeling, and the bay has a simple, undeveloped feel.
It works best as a swim stop and a short walk along the shore, with shade under trees. There are no facilities, no market, and no restaurant at the bay; nearby villages have eateries, but you should bring all supplies with you.
How to get there
Approach Baklabuku Koyu from the sea, anchoring in the bay where the seabed is sandy and rocky. The bay is sheltered by pine slopes, but be aware of rocky edges and a stony beach. There are no marked channels or VHF procedures mentioned; anchor carefully to avoid the rocky edges.
The bay is about 26.6 kilometers from Marmaris town, and about 5-6 kilometers from Turunc. Land access is via a rough, stony track suitable only for 4x4 vehicles, or by boat tours from Marmaris and Turunc. There is no formal port or marina; anchoring is the only option.
