Bozburun
A quiet coastal village on the Bozburun Peninsula with views of Datça and the Greek island of Symi, far from Marmaris’ bustle.
Bozburun, once a small town and now a neighbourhood of Marmaris, sits at the tip of its own peninsula. The waterfront here is lined with tea gardens and a tiny harbour where wooden gulets are still built by hand. It’s a place to slow down—watch the boats, gaze across the sea to Datça and Symi, and maybe take a dip from a quiet pier. There are no big sights, just the rhythm of village life. Especially at sunset, when the light hits the Greek islands, the place feels timeless.
With a population of around 2,200, Bozburun stays local. You’ll see fishermen mending nets and old-timers playing backgammon. It’s a good stop for a relaxed meal or a break on a coastal drive.
“Escape the crowds for a calm coastal village with views of Greek islands.”
Find the small boatyard near the harbour to watch traditional wooden gulets being built by hand—mornings are when you’ll see most activity.
