The Turkish Saint-Tropez
Göltürkbükü
The twin bays of Türkbükü and Gölköy are the most exclusive address in the Turkish summer.
This is where Istanbul society and its guests spend July and August: swimming platforms over flat water, mega-yachts at anchor and beach clubs where the day starts late and ends later. Maçakızı, arguably the country's most famous hotel and a Michelin-starred kitchen, anchors the scene.
Outside high season the bays fall quiet, which is exactly why year-round residents prize them: sheltered water, pine hills and a fifteen-minute run into Bodrum town.
