20-minute from Bodrum takes one through
pine forests on a winding road past whitewashed water catchers
(gümbets) to the beach at Yaliçiftlik. The first bay after the end
of Karaada Island and marking the entrance to the Gulf of Gokova,
this shingle beach has several small restaurants scattered around
it. The eastern end of the beach is sandy and it is also possible to
swim and sunbathe in solitude by the rocks a bit further on. It is
in these spectacular surroundings that you will find.
Four kilometers from Yaliciftlik ('Beach Farm') one comes to the
farming village of Ciftlikköy. The stone farmhouses are scattered
around the hillside, and the main crops are pine honey collected
from the beehives in the forests and figs grown in the surrounding
orchards. Untouched by tourism, the village offers an interesting
insight into local farming life on the Bodrum peninsula. |
