Bedri Rahmi Bay

36° 41. 43′ N – 28° 52. 01′ E

Bedri Rahmi Bay is one of the most special bays of the region, surrounded by pine and olive trees with magnificent turquoise waters, on the northwest of Taşyaka Island.  You will see Olive and Likya restaurants while entering the bay, you can stay at the piers in front of these restaurants with your boat.

 Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu, one of the intellectuals of the post-Republican era, sailed in 1945 with the Fisherman of Halicarnassus.  These journeys will be the starting point of another journey, which will cause the bay named Taşyaka to be called Bedri Rahmi Bay later on.

 In addition to being an intellectual, Bedri Rahmi Eyüpoğlu was a true sea lover.  In 1974, they turned their bows to Göçek, now one of Turkey’s unique sailing spots, and found themselves in Taşyaka Bay.  During this visit, he drew his draw on the rock on the northern slope of the bay, which has survived thanks to the people who follow his footsteps for renewal and in which six different animals combine to reveal a fish figure.  As a result of this event, Taşyaka Bay is now known as Bedri Rahmi Bay.

 Just next to the stone where the draw is, the ice-cold spring water chills the salty warm water of the bay.  Thanks to this spring water, if you are on your way with your boat, you can also source your fresh water.  Local people say that this water is beneficial for the stomach.

Another issue is the rock tombs that were built by the Lycians in Bay in 350 BC and survived until today.  These tombs are reached by a steep path starting from the shore.
