This quintessential Turkish fishing village opposite the Greek island of Kalymos is well worth a visit. Every restaurant along the harbor front competes for your lunchtime and evening pleasure, with an impressive array of freshly caught fish. Cokertme and Castle Island Cokertme is a small hamlet in a semi-circular bay with houses and restaurants fringing the shoreline. This is the real Turkey, with carpets and kilms being sold everywhere at good value. From Cokertme, cruise eastwards to Cleopatra's beach on the far side of Castle Island.
Legend has it that the fabulous white sand was originally imported from Egypt.
Amazon Creek Back around the headland, heading east, is Amazon Creek, aptly named as the trees quite literally overhang the water. The anchorage is very quiet and pretty with just a few facilities ashore. Knidos Sail across the Gulf and around Cape Crio at the end of the Datca peninsula and into the bay of Knidos, famed for its ancient ruins. The city is only partly excavated, but it is still possible to identify most of the major features. Port Victoria has several restaurants, art galleries, craft shops, and a colorful market from which to provision.
