Kumlu Buku is a large bay lying one mile north of Kadirga Limani. It is located at the opening of the bay leading to Marmaris and, therefore, a popular stop over those traveling into and out of the yachting hub. Set in a beautiful landscape, the bay is overlooked by the ruins of the ancient settlement of Amos. There is an acropolis, an amphitheater, a temple and an altar to Dionysus dating from the fourth century. B.C. It’s quite a hike cup to the site but worth the reward of magnificent views over the bay.

The pristine, clear waters offer good snorkeling. Preferred mooring is found on restaurant jetties and laid moorings provided by a yacht club located in the south of the bay. Anchoring is possible off the beach in the south corner of the bay in 6-8 meters but the bottom is sand and gravel and does not hold well.
