Tasucu, with good accommodations for tourists, is a resort town with sandy beaches and a harbor. A regular sea bus and ferry boat service connects the town with Girne in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Ovacik, 44 km west of Tasucu, is a quiet spot well-known for its fisherman’s wharf and beach. The Peninsula (ancient Cavaliere) of Ovacik is one of the natural highlights of Turkey, an area ideal for diving. If this sport interests you, visit Kosrelik Bay and Kosrelik Island. Off the coast of Kösrelik Bay, you will find Roman ruins and beautiful mosaics in Afrodisias, 18 km southeast of Ovacik. Aydincik, to the west of Ovacik, clearly marks the surrounding sailing waters ensuring safety for the yachts that ply this breathtaking stretch of coast. The shore road that clings to the pine-clad mountain slopes which plunge steeply down to the sea, offers spectacular views of cliffs coves and the brilliant turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Another 36 km to the west of Aydincik, Bozyazi is a holiday center with clean and roomy camping sales along its wide beaches. The fine, well-preserved Anamur Castle, set between two curving sandy beaches, commands a splendid view of the coastline. Originally built by the Crusaders in the Middle Ages, it later served as an Ottoman stronghold.
