Poyraz Cove, Bodrum

Poyraz Cove takes its name from the north-easterly wind (poyraz) it shelters from — a small inlet on the south coast of the Bodrum peninsula where the headland blocks the meltem, leaving the bay calm even when the open Aegean is whipping up. The water is deep enough close to shore for any size of yacht, and the seafloor is sandy mixed with rock for good holding. There's no village or restaurant — just pine trees and a single goat track leading inland. Most boats use Poyraz as a windy-day backup anchorage when nothing else in the area is comfortable. Poyraz is 90 minutes from Bodrum by sail. Season runs May through October.
