Kuruca Buk
Once the
deckhands have hauled up the anchor in Datca, have the helmsman steer a course E
past Karaincir Adalari, Karabuk Burnu and Kalemlik Burnu to arrive in Çiftlik
Koyu. This bay will strike your attention for its white residences nestled
within green woods. Because this wide bay is exposed to winds, the adjacent
Kuruca Bükü is preferred. The bay is entered by cruising around Adatepe Burnu
and paying close attention as you manuever past the island of ciftlik. Opposite
the bay are the three Kuruca Adalari. After spotting these islands, you can sail
comfortably into Kuruca Bükü and drop anchor in this secure bay, which is
sheltered by the fact that the Adatepe Peninsula shunts off all prevailing winds.
It is considered to be a secure bay as it is situated between Bozon Burnu and
Adatepe Peninsula.
There is a wide sandy beach that splits Çiftlik Limani with Kuruca Bükü.
Concurrently,this beach connects the Adatepe Peninsula with the mainland. You
can moor your yacht to the jetty in front of the restaurant located on the beach.
In addition, you can also moor in a natural shelter in the form of a slight
inlet in the part of the bay that faces the Aktur residences on the peninsula.
You can also drop anchor in this bay which is just opposite another complex of
Akturs homes with flower gardens that can be made out through the trees that
come down to the sea. This is an ideal anchorage point on windy days. You can
tie a mooring line up to the shore and take a dip in the crystal clean sea
shaded by trees. During the winter months the bay is affected by winds blowing
in from the SE, at which time the adjacent bay, Çiftlik Koyu is to be preferred.
There are campgrounds inside the bay, whereas you can also benefit from the
pharmacy, post office and bank offices located in the Aktur residential complex.
