En route to the luxurious Maya Marina, yacht charterers will have an opportunity to stop off at the delightful anchorage of Asin Limani to visit what remains of the ancient city of Iassos, where donkeys and cows graze amongst the ruins. The city dates from Mycenean times, and today visitors on a Maya Marina yacht charter will be able to see the Temple of Zeus, the city wall, the agora and a small theater amid the olive groves. It is an enchanting spot, surrounded by olive groves – well worth a visit.

Sailing north to Maya Marina, you will find a high quality resort with two swimming pools, an outdoor cinema and rock pools for snorkeling around. Those who feel like stretching their legs will enjoy the hike up to the top of the hill behind the marina, from where there are spectacular views out over the Gulf of Gulluk. The marina is within easy reach of Bodrum, which will be of interest to those in search of lively nightlife, plus a wide range of cosmopolitan shops and restaurants. There's also a famous bazaar where you’ll find all manner of souvenirs and a huge selection of kilims (woven rug tapestries).
