Taşyaka Koyu

Taşyaka Koyu goes by a second name — Bedri Rahmi Koyu — earned in 1974 when the celebrated Turkish painter and poet Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu anchored here and fell so completely in love with the place that it took on his name. You drop anchor in a beautifully sheltered cove about 14 km southeast of Dalaman town centre, surrounded by pine-covered slopes and the kind of rugged Aegean scenery that tends to stop people in their tracks.
