Kayakoy, a district of Fethiye in Mu\u011fla, is like a secret gift from nature, not only with its historical texture but also with its hidden coves. While following the traces of history on the stone streets of Kayakoy, knowing that you will meet the turquoise sea just one step away makes this region even more special. For nature lovers, photographers and holidaymakers who want to get away from the crowds, the area around Kayakoy hosts many coves waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n
Although Kayakoy is a settlement that does not have a direct coastline, it offers easy access to the hidden coves around it. Especially spots such as Kabak Cove, So\u011fuk Su Cove, Darbo\u011faz and Boncuklu Cove stand out with their silence, natural structure and crystal clear sea.<\/p>\n
These coves can be reached by a few minutes’ drive or by nature walk. It is also possible to reach these coves by boat tours. Kayakoy coves offer a therapy area for those who want to be away from the crowds, without noise and alone with the sound of nature.<\/p>\n
When you proceed from Kayakoy towards Gemiler Bay, one of the first stops you will come across on the road is So\u011fuk Su Bay. It takes its name from the coolness created by fresh water sources leaking from the land to the sea. It is a very attractive spot especially for those who want to cool off in the summer months.<\/p>\n
Although it is not possible to go down to So\u011fuk Su Bay directly by car, it is possible to reach it after a short walk on the paths. Its waveless structure, clear water and surrounding rocky areas are suitable for both swimming and snorkeling. For Kassandra Heritage guests, reaching this bay during their morning walks is the ideal way to start the day with energy.<\/p>\n
Gemiler Bay, one of the closest and most well-known bays to Kayakoy, is a unique stop for both sea pleasure and historical discoveries. Gemiler Island, located right across the bay, attracts attention with its church and building ruins from the Byzantine period. It is possible to reach the island by boat.<\/p>\n
The beach in Gemiler Bay is ideal for families and swimming enthusiasts. The sea gradually progresses from shallow to deep, which provides a safe environment for visitors with children. In addition, the golden view formed in the bay at sunset is one of the most photographed frames of the region.<\/p>\n
Another special bay that can be reached by boat or on foot around Kayakoy is Aquarium Bay. Although it is a little more difficult to reach this bay, it offers an experience worth the effort thanks to its clarity and the density of marine life. It takes its name from the height of the visibility under water.<\/p>\n
It is an ideal stop for those who want to snorkel, do underwater photography or just glide in the deep blue sea. It is a point that those looking for silence and calmness definitely visit on boat tours departing from Kayakoy.<\/p>\n
Darbo\u011faz Bay gets its name from the fact that it extends like a narrow passage between two hills. Thanks to this structure, it is protected from the winds and the sea is often flat as a sheet. This bay, which can be reached by a short walk from Kayakoy, is suitable for those who want to enjoy nature walks and the sea together.<\/p>\n
Its shore is pebbly and its water is quite clear. It is generally calm due to its location away from crowded tour boats. It is an ideal place to be alone with nature, read a book or just listen to the sound of the sea.<\/p>\n
St. Nicholas Island (Gemiler Island), which can be reached from Gemiler Bay, attracts attention not only with its archaeological remains but also with the small bays around it. The mini bays around the island stand out with their underwater riches and silence. You can anchor in these bays and take a swimming break during a short boat tour.<\/p>\n
The stops around this islet maintain their tranquility throughout the year as they can only be reached from the sea. It is a spot not to be missed, especially for those who want to experience history and nature together.<\/p>\n
K\u0131drak Bay, which can be reached by a short car ride from Kayakoy, is a natural area adjacent to \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz. Since its beach has the status of a National Park, it has preserved its naturalness and is far from construction. This bay, where pine forests meet the sea, is suitable for day trips with its picnic areas and walking trails.<\/p>\n
It is among the most beautiful Kayakoy bays in the region for those who want to swim, sunbathe or just breathe in nature. It offers the opportunity to be alone with the sounds of nature, especially when visited in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n
Soguk Kuyu Bay is a small natural wonder located between Gemiler Bay and So\u011fuk Su Bay. It can be reached by walking along the coast and there are rocky paths along the way. Due to this difficulty of access, it is mostly secluded and has preserved its naturalness.<\/p>\n
The sea is quite clean in the bay with a small sandy beach. It is quite suitable for swimming thanks to its waveless structure. Since there are few shady areas, it is recommended to visit in the morning and evening hours. It is also popular with trekking enthusiasts as it is connected by walking routes.<\/p>\n
