Dirsekbuku, Marmaris

Dirsek Bükü takes its name from its shape — "dirsek" means elbow in Turkish, and the cove bends sharply inland into a hidden inner basin where the entrance disappears from view. The bay sits on the Marmaris peninsula's northern coast, ringed by steep pine forest dropping to the water. The double-bend geometry creates the best shelter on the gulf: even when the meltem peaks, the inner basin stays flat. There's a single small restaurant on the south shore that grills fish to order, and footpaths into the forest lead to ridge viewpoints. Dirsek Bükü is 90 minutes from Marmaris. Season runs May through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
