What Is Bozburun Like?
Bozburun is a neighbourhood of Marmaris; formerly a town (belde), it faces the Datça Peninsula and the Greek island of Symi. According to English Wikipedia, people make a living from tourism, fishing, sponge diving and beekeeping; its thyme honey is especially famous. It has a small harbour and is one of the stops of Blue Cruise boats.
According to Go Türkiye, Bozburun is a calm place: there are few boutique hotels, guesthouses and restaurants; it is best known for the yacht and gulet shipyards where Blue Voyage gulets are built, and there are repair workshops too. Wikipedia says its gulet building is on a par with Bodrum and Güllük. There are marinas in Bozburun, Selimiye and Orhaniye.
