Söğüt is a tiny village on the southern edge of the Bozburun peninsula, reached by a dirt-and-pine road or — easier — by boat from the gulf. The harbour holds maybe 20 mooring buoys, a single jetty, and a row of small fish restaurants with tables set close to the water. The pace is unhurried: olive oil pressing, almond orchards, beekeeping. Beyond the village, the coast opens to a string of empty coves between Selimiye and Bozburun, all reachable within an hour of sailing. Most boats stop in Söğüt for an evening dinner and a quiet night on the buoys. Season runs May through October; July and August add a small crowd, May and September stay empty.
