Midway along the peninsula's north shore, nestled
in a huge bay are the two quaint villages of Turkbuku and
Golkoy.
Safely
tucked in the surrounding hillsides on the west side of the
bay and sheltered by two islands the village of Turkbuku is
a natural haven for area fishermen, who still operate from
the many wooden jetties along the beachfront. Just outside
the bay are popular fishing grounds for dil baligi, or sole.
Further on, at the foot of the bay, the village
of Golkoy occupies a verdant green
valley fronted by a long sandy beach with small pensions and
restaurants. The delights of Golkoy
are many, but perhaps foremost among them is the ability,
to enjoy the quiet native atmosphere of fishermen, farmers
and tradesmen going about their daily tasks with little concern
for the noise and hustle and bustle of modern life.
