Boat trips sail regularly from Bodrum Marina, the ideal way to see the stunning coastline.

Tuzla Lake and its extensive wetlands lie at the end of a deep inlet from the Gulf of Güllük and Mandalya Bay. The site is unique as it is where the Lake unites with the sea. Embraced by rolling mountains covered with a rich combination of wild shrubs, Olive groves, Pine and Tamarisk trees, this is perhaps one of the most beautiful locations in Turkey. Ancient remains can be seen emerging from the still calm of the lake under a sky that, whenever you look up, seems to be the most spectacular yet.

Across the lake is Vita Golf course, with two 9 holes and one 18 hole, Bodrum’s only PGA standard golf course. It also has a private golf club with bar and restaurant.  Even closer than this is the pitch and putt golf course on Lakeside providing families with hours of fun! 

The fishing village of Bogaziçi nestles on the shores of Mandalya Bay. The village holds an important place in history as the site of the ancient city of Bargilia. Today, a few fish restaurants fringe the sea front offering the day’s fresh catch and other Aegean specialities. Original old stone houses line the road and testify to Turkey’s traditional village life.

Tuzla Lake has been a nature reserve under international protection since 1994. A huge variety of birds take sanctuary here in the rich wetlands. Greater Flamingos flock to the area by the thousand and you can also see the largest population of White Storks in the region.  Pelicans are also frequent visitors. Among other species you can spot the Heron, Mallard, Water Chicken, Grey and

Hungarian Duck and Swallow. Butterflies also breed here and the Two-tailed Pascha is an unforgettable find. For nature lovers and bird watchers alike, Tuzla is paradise.

Many excursions are available to book from the on site office on the complex. Take a day trip to the ancient Ephesus and see fountains, temples, mosaics, and baths. A day trip to Dalyan and the ancient warm mud baths which are believed to have rejuvenating powers! See Pamukkale (meaning Cotton Castle) an amazing natural phenomenon created over millennia by springs that bubble up at a constant 35 degrees. Take a boat trip to the Greek Island of Kos or how about a day out to a traditional Turkish bath, or a village tour.
