Ekincik is a beautiful and tranquil bay on the southwestern coast of Turkey, a peaceful haven of pine-clad hills and clear water set amid some of the loveliest scenery on the Turquoise Coast. Sheltered and unspoilt, it offers a serene anchorage and a gateway to one of the region’s great natural wonders.
The bay is beautifully protected, ringed by forested slopes that sweep down to clear, calm water ideal for swimming and relaxing at anchor. Its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it a favourite overnight stop for yachts cruising the Turkish coast.
Ekincik is best known as the gateway to the Dalyan Delta, a spectacular labyrinth of reed-lined channels leading past ancient Lycian rock tombs to the ruins of Kaunos and the famous turtle beach of Iztuzu. Exploring the delta by tender is one of the highlights of any Turkish cruise.
Ashore, a handful of welcoming restaurants offer fresh fish and Turkish specialities in a beautiful natural setting, with little else to disturb the peace. The sense of unspoilt nature is profound.
With its sheltered bay, pine-clad scenery and access to the Dalyan Delta, Ekincik is a tranquil highlight of the Turquoise Coast. Guests can anchor in clear water, explore ancient sites and natural wonders and enjoy the unspoilt beauty of this beautiful Turkish bay.
