Aktur Bay

Aktur Bay sits on the northern coast of the Datça peninsula, a long shallow bay backed by a kilometre of sandy beach and low pine hills. The water shelves slowly to 5 metres before dropping off, with no rocks or weed — ideal for swimming and for first-time charterers learning to anchor. A small summer-house development sits behind the beach with two restaurants and a bakery; otherwise the bay stays empty. The headland to the west blocks the prevailing wind, so anchorages stay flat most afternoons. Aktur is 30 minutes east of Datça by sail. Season runs May through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
