The village of Orhaniye lies between two steep rocky slopes on the shore of the bay known as Keci Buku. A stream keeps the enclosed, pine-forested valley and the central flat plain well-watered and green throughout the summer.  It is a gem of a village, deservedly popular with visiting charterers – you’ll find plenty of them in the restaurants. 

In the bay lies a long, narrow submerged sandpit known as Kizkumu (Maiden’s Sand), which extends halfway across. When someone walks on it, it looks as if they are walking on water – it’s one vacation memory that you will not want to miss! To the north of Orhaniye lies the village of Hisaronu, formerly Bybassus, where the remains of an ancient acropolis can be seen. 

Sunsail’s base at Orhaniye is at the Marti Marina, tucked into an enchanting corner of the bay. There are some old Byzantine ruins within the marina complex and there is a pleasant, relaxed ambience about the place – it’s an ideal starting point for your Orhaniye yacht charter. If you want to start your vacation with a bang – take the trip in to the lively town of Marmaris, only 20 minutes away. There you’ll find bars, restaurants and nightlife galore, not to mention a fascinating array of shops in the bazaar. Be prepared for a lot of traditional Turkish carpets!
