Akbuk

Akbuk Burun is a short peninsula jutting out from the coastline,  east of Oren, set against a backdrop of steep and rugged pine-clad slopes dropping down to the sea. En route to the anchorage at Akbuk Limani, consider stopping off on your Akbuk yacht charter at the coastal resort of Oren. The upper village on the east bank of a canyon mouth exiting the hills is an appealing settlement, scattered amongst the ruins of ancient Keramos.  You can see walls, arches and a boat slip, dating from the time when the sea (now 1/2-mile away) lapped the edge of town. 

The beach here is pleasant, backed by pine-clad cliffs and in clear weather you will be able to see right across to the Datca Peninsula.  Akbuk itself is a lovely anchorage with a few decent restaurants but little in the way of other facilities.  Aim to arrive in time for a swim and a snorkel before dinner and enjoy a few drinks on deck before heading for bed.

 

Mooring:

  • Anchor in the western corner of the long bay behind the peninsula, off the restaurant prominent on the shore. 
  • The bottom shelves steeply from 32 - 49 feet (10 – 15 meters) close to the shore.
  • Take a line ashore or go stern- or bows-to one of the jetties if there is room – in summer gulets take up most of the space.

  • Visit the ruins of ancient Keramos
