We arrived in Bozburun Turkey on the 2nd of August after just 2 hours after departing Pedi Bay, Symi. We are officially in Turkey with a 90 day visa, at which point we will have to exit and re-enter to get another 90 day visa.
We are anchored about 300 meters from the town dock. The anchorage is part of a huge and almost landlocked bay that gives protection from winds coming from any direction. There is also a lot of places where to anchor within the huge bay but we are happy here close to the small village, where we made friends with a local carpet dealer who speaks fluent English and who like the rest of the Turkish people is very hospitable.
The transit log cost us 60 Euros and 35 euros for the agent, there is no way out of eliminating the agent, although I think I prefer the agent to do all the running around in this heat. Temp ranging in the high 30's. The swimming is great in deep water and water is 25 deg C. There is many boats here including the famous Turkish gulits. Gulit boat building is a major industry within this large bay but they are tucked in towards the south east cost of the bay so they are not an eye-sour.
Lillian and I both love it here, but we will have to start moving east soon as we already booked and paid for our winter spot in Maramris area which is an hour by bus from here, plus there are so many anchorages to visit on the way. The cost for the bus from Bozburun to Marmaris is 3.75 euros per person each way.
