Gökova (Kerme) Bay is a narrow gulf extending about 100 kilometers along the southeast of Anatolia, between the Bodrum and Datça Peninsulas. Kos (İstanköy) Island lies along the gulf’s exit. The bay is removed from the highway and due to its unique geography, there are few settlements there, providing ideal conditions for sailing and yachting. Bodrum, Milas, Muğla, Ula, Marmaris, and Datça are aligned clockwise along the shoreline.
