Bozburun Peninsula Villages Day Tour from Marmaris

The Bozburun Peninsula – Village Life Away from the Marmaris Crowds
This day tour from Marmaris follows the winding roads of the Bozburun peninsula, a rugged finger of land between the Hisarönü and Symi gulfs. Instead of beaches and boat parties, this daily excursion shows the slower side of the coast: hill villages, fishing harbours, boatyards and quiet bays, with a private vehicle and guide.
Highlights
- Yassıpiren viewpoint – a wide panorama of pine hills and turquoise inlets
- Bayır – a hill village with a giant plane tree and local honey
- Söğüt – a small fishing harbour known for its seafood restaurants
- Bozburun – boatyards where wooden gulets are still built
- Selimiye – a relaxed waterfront village on a deep, sheltered bay
In antiquity the peninsula belonged to the Rhodian Peraea, the mainland territory of the island of Rhodes, and small fortresses and ruins are scattered across its hills. Today the villages live from fishing, beekeeping, olives and sailing tourism, and the roads between them offer some of the finest coastal views in the Marmaris region.
Bayır sits on a ridge between the two gulfs. Its plane tree, with a hollow trunk wide enough to stand inside, shades the village square beside the mosque. The pine forests around Marmaris are known for pine honey, and you will see beehives along the road.
Bozburun has long been a centre of gulet building; you can often watch shipwrights at work on the hulls by the harbour. Selimiye, at the head of a long bay, is a favourite anchorage for yachts sailing the coast.
If you prefer an active day, try our jeep safari and Cleopatra boat tour. This Marmaris day trip is ideal for photographers and repeat visitors.
Good to know
- The roads are narrow and winding; tell us if you suffer from travel sickness.
- Bring swimwear if you would like a quick swim in Selimiye or Söğüt.
- Spring and autumn give the clearest views; summer is hot but the villages are lively.
- The tour lasts about 7 hours.
