The Bozburun Peninsula is an unspoilt part of Turkey as it is protected by the Government and treated as a National Park. This means that all development is severely limited with high rise construction banned throughout the Bozburun Peninsula. Because of this, the Bozburun Peninsula is often referred to as a living museum as the way of life is largely unchanged from decades ago. This makes it very attractive to visitors who are looking for a wonderfully relaxing place to stay, and explore the villages dotted along the peninsula. Compared to bustling Marmaris, all the villages along the Bozburun Peninsula are quiet and you will find the locals very friendly.
