Bencik Koyu

✨ Hidden gem

Bencik Koyu is a deep, crystal-clear bay tucked into the northeastern tip of the Datça Peninsula, reaching into Hisarönü Gulf. You anchor off here in beautifully clean water that's genuinely inviting for a swim. Watch out for the rocky spur extending 75 metres from the headland on your starboard side as you leave — give it a wide berth by staying at least 400 metres off to the southwest.
