Logistics & Technical

Boynuzbükü is a legendary harbor for its protection from almost all winds. The bay is very deep, and it is common practice to anchor and take long lines to the sturdy pine trees on the shore (med-moor). The holding is excellent on a muddy bottom, making it a "fortress" for yachts during heavy weather.

Gastronomy & Social Life

The bay is famous for its family-run restaurant hidden among the trees. The dining experience here is centered around "farm-to-table" freshness; the vegetables, herbs, and fruits are grown in the bay’s own vast garden. It’s a sophisticated yet rustic atmosphere where you can enjoy traditional Turkish mezes under the shade of century-old trees.

Heritage & Wonders

Culture & Nature

The most striking natural feature here is the valley behind the beach. It’s one of the few places where the forest remains untouched, offering a habitat for endemic plants. At night, the absence of nearby town lights makes it one of the best anchorages for stargazing while listening to the symphony of the forest.

“
"Ask the restaurant staff for their garden's fresh pomegranate juice. Drinking it on deck as the sun sets over the pines is pure liquid gold."
