Muğla’s Quiet Corners
- The Gulf of Gökova and Akyaka: pine forests, the Azmak river and wind sports, with boat trips to Sedir Island.
- Selimiye and Bozburun: south of Marmaris, with yacht harbours and boutique hotels overlooking the bays.
- The Datça peninsula: almond trees, stone houses and quiet bays where two seas meet.
- Muğla town: the Saburhane square and historic houses with white chimneys for a short, culture-focused stop.
Types of Accommodation
Small boutique hotels, guest houses, bungalows and campsites stand out here, and big resorts are rare. Some places in the bays are reached by narrow roads, so check the location and access before booking.
When to Go
The swimming season runs from May to October; June and September are ideal for peace and warm water. Summer winds make Akyaka famous for kitesurfing, while spring and autumn are lovely for walking and village visits.
Getting There
The area is reached from Milas-Bodrum and Dalaman airports. For a private transfer to your hotel, see Milas-Bodrum Airport to Mugla transfer and Dalaman Airport to Mugla transfer. Hiring a car makes it easy to move between the bays.
Things to Do
A boat ride on the Azmak river at Akyaka, the beach on Sedir Island, bay cruises from Bozburun and Selimiye, ancient Knidos and the stone lanes of old Datça are the highlights. Nearby Marmaris and Bodrum make good day trips.
Who Is It For?
These areas are ideal for couples looking for quiet bays, nature and walking lovers, wind-sports fans and boutique-hotel enthusiasts. For a livelier holiday, we compare Muğla’s other resorts on our Muğla Province page.
Practical Tips
- Some places in the bays have limited shops and restaurants, so consider half board.
- Windy days at Akyaka are ideal for kitesurfing; for calm water, swim in the morning.
- Driving narrow village roads after dark can be tiring, so plan to arrive in daylight.
