Some of the places you will discover in Golturkbuku
A cove in the middle of desolation: Cennet Cove
This bay is one of the most untouched in Golturkbuku. The blue flag sea is warm and crystal clear. Consisting of a long narrow indentation towards the land, this bay gradually deepens, so it is safe for families with children. The bay in the pine forest is one of the favorite places of yachtsmen. It is a hundred percent privilege to meet the morning sun, soak up the evening sun, dive into the sea from the yacht or sit for a dinner on the deck here. For those who do not come by yacht, camping in the forest is allowed, but making a fire is strictly prohibited.
The land of orphaned rock tombs: Ancient city of Madnasa
The Leleges were the first known civilization to have dominated the Bodrum peninsula. Especially in the article where we introduced Akyarlar, we mentioned the Leleg civilization. The ancient city of Madnasa is also a Lelegian city. Since extensive excavations have not been carried out in the region yet, there is not much information about it. However, the tombs carved into the rocks on the backs of Turkbuku are both sad and frightening. It is estimated that the people of the city were forced to live in Halicarnassus by the Carian King Mausolos and left the city.
A lake where fresh and salt water meet: Golkoy Lake
Although it is surrounded by hotels and summer estates, it is still a very special natural habitat. Its immediate surroundings are under protection. Around the lake, there is an endemic palm species called Golkoy Date, which is unique to this region in the world. The lake is still a source of life for many living species. In addition to water turtles, you can come across bird species such as herons, hoopoes, kingfishers and wagtails. It is said that before Bodrum was modernized, fish such as mullet and carp could be caught in this lake, and mats were made from the reeds around the lake.
Golturkbuku also has stylish hotels, restaurants that will enchant gastronomy enthusiasts, and many clubs that will delight those who love nightlife and entertainment. In short, this is a perfect holiday resort.
In order for you to be able to say that I had a holiday in Bodrum, you must see and experience Golturkbuku.
