Akyaka
Akyaka is village on the shores of the Gokova Bay; 30-minute drive from Marmaris. Its fish restaurants on the river have been a stopping place for Turkish travelers for many years. The surrounding mountains and countryside have been declared a conservation area, and the plains between the two rivers are 'A' class sanctuary. The reed beds are home to many rare birds; offer colonies and many other species of wildlife.

Local building codes ensure that all new constructions are designed on the same lines as the houses of 200 years ago. Angled rooms and the use of local pine make this architecture most interesting. A few kilometer along the ruins of the city of ldyma and the bay is the tiny beach of Cinar.
