A Loryma yacht charter brings you to the steep-to stretch of mountainous coast between Karaburun and Marmaris, where now there are few obvious signs of human habitation, yet up until the end of Byzantium there were some sizeable towns.  The barren mountains are imposing, quite a contrast to the pine-clad slopes that appear as you travel closer to Marmaris. 

Ancient Loryma – also known as Bozuk Buku – is a large bay lying to the east of Karaburun. There is an old Hellenistic citadel on the west side of the entrance to the bay, which has been well-preserved and once you get inside the bay, the ruins of the ancient city are visible around the coast.  There are a few restaurants along the shore – you can expect to find simple seafood and grilled fish dishes, just the thing after a morning or afternoon spent swimming and snorkeling in the bay or hiking around the ruins.
