Tuzla Lake is formed by the deep inlet from the Gulf of Güllük and Mandalya Bay. This is perhaps one of the most stunning locations in Turkey. Home to a host of ancient ruins the lake is surrounded by mountains covered with Olive groves, Pine and Tamarisk trees. The area is particularly special as a natural bird sanctuary; throughout the year a large variety of rare birds including Pelicans, Flamingos and White Storks can be seen flocking to the wetlands. The Turquoise site itself covers two valleys and hillsides, the contours of the land allowing for spectacular views of Tuzla lake, the sea and mountains. The nearby village of Bo?aziçi holds an important place in history as the site of the ancient city of Bargilia. After exploring the unspolit stone village, a swim in the clear blue water is perfect. Small fishing boats come and go throughout the day delivering their catch to restaurants on the shore where you can dine and relax overlooking the glittering Mandalya Bay.
Guvercinlik, about 15 minutes from Turquoise on the road into Bodrum, could be typical of the sleepy villages scattering the peninsula. However, as each of them have their own unique atmosphere and landscape, a visit is not to be missed. Nestled in a vast sweeping bay embraced by untouched mountains, head to Guvercinlik for the Monday market or to watch the sun set from one of the waterfront restaurants. The view from here is truly priceless.
