The wonderful village of Bozburun lies on the Hisaronu peninsula at the head of a bay at the northern end of the Gulf of Simi, opposite the Greek island of Simi. The village is sheltered by several small islands – Vunos, Lebunia and Kamari - and its situation is quite stunning.  The slopes of the Gulf are bare and rocky, with the steep-to craggy slopes of the Kinossima promontory bordering its southern side.

Bozborun was once the center of Turkey’s sponge-fishing industry, but now most of the boats here are visiting yachts and gulets.  It’s a charming, somewhat eccentric small town – something of a magnet for people who have given up careers in various sectors of the entertainment and media industries to lead a quieter life by the sea in rural Turkey. It's definitely well worth a visit on a Bozburun boat charter. Tourism is relatively limited, but there are good facilities in the way of places to eat and hang out with a cold drink –  as Bill Gates might attest, having stopped off in Bozburun in one of his mega-yachts on a couple of occasions.
