Things to Do

 Tdiver Says:  Walk to the harbour and the first couple of boats do the river tour.An Autumn morning was not the best time but still 15 degrees warm and the slow cruise upstream and back for half an hour was all we could spare but worth it.The crystal clear water amongst the reed beds is...

Night life in the village is poor. Late night dinners are very popular. There are a couple of bars, but not compared to the ones in MArmaris and Bodrum. The village is more for couples like to walk on the beach under the moonlight!

Sunset near the power station

We came from Marmaris to Akyaka through some wild back roads,forest roads and along the bay and passed some great places to picnic,party and swim with almost noone else around.Maps are probably useless and out of date so just see what you can discover.The local power station on the north side of the bay and either side and inland are your target.
