Anyone can find a nice bay. Finding one that faces west, sits sheltered, and stays quiet at 20:00 is the skill.
Çökertme, where the village lights come on as the sun drops. Kissebükü, with ancient ruins right on the shoreline. Akyarlar, wide open to the western horizon. Kargıcak, almost always empty even in August. Pabuç Burnu, where there are no lights at all and the stars take over.
Timing matters as much as the place. We anchor 90 minutes before sunset, so the boat is settled and dinner has started while the light is still good. In July the sun goes down around 20:30.
Ask us to build a route around the sunsets rather than the swims.
