This is a bay surrounded by hills on both sides. For this reason, it is closed to the wind, especially to the north winds. This transforms Karaincir Bay into a clear sea without waves.
This was once a region famous for its figs. Koy got its name Karaincir from this feature in the past. According to a rumor, the fig mentioned here is not the fig we know. Local people call the dark fruit of the cactus trees here as black fig.
Where is Karaincir Bay?
Located in the Akyarlar region of Datca district, Karaincir Bay is approximately 16 km from Bodrum center. If you want to come by road, you can reach Akyarlar and Karaincir Bay in a very short time with your private vehicle. If you do not have a private vehicle, it is possible to reach Karaincir Bay in 30-35 minutes by taking the Akyarlar minibuses departing from Bodrum Center. Our suggestion is to reach this bay by renting a yacht from yatkiralama.com. Thus, you can only experience the beauties of the bay without getting stuck in the crazier traffic of Bodrum, without the hassle of parking, sunbeds, showers, and the expensive whims of private beaches.
500 meters long beach
The most beautiful feature of Karaincir Bay is that it is free of waves and wind. The bay, which has a 500-meter long beach, is the slowest deepening and the sandiest cove among the bays on the Bodrum peninsula. Those who enter the sea by land have to walk for meters to deepen the sea, but this is both safe and great fun, especially for children. So much so that you can sit cross-legged in the middle of the sea, even tens of meters off the shore.
For those who come to the bay by yacht, shallow sandy ground means a clear and turquoise sea. By the way, the sand we are talking about is like fine powder and it is really enjoyable to walk on it.
In addition, the water of Karaincir Bay is cooler than the neighboring bays. This coolness feels like a medicine to the body in the months when the temperature is at its highest.
The bays to the right and left of Karaincir also deserve to be seen. One side of the bay is Akcabuk Bay and the other side is Bağlar Bay. You can be sure that you will spend an unforgettable day by visiting other bays in the vicinity on your cruise that you will charter a yacht. In the meantime, there are many places to see in the vicinity such as Aspat Bay.
