The slopes on the eastern side of the large, much-indented bay of Degirmen Buku are covered in magnificent pine forests. Near the head of the bay are fragrant amber trees, which only grow in a few places in the eastern Mediterranean. From time to time, Degirmen Buku is also known as English Harbor, a historical reference from WWII when the Special Boat Squadron used it as a base.

Be sure to go ashore for a walk through the forest and fields once you have moored your Degirmen Buku English Harbor yacht charter– the landscape is truly beautiful. Along the eastern side of the bay there are a number of simple restaurants where you can expect to find delicious, fresh, locally-caught fish on the menu.
