Description

Selimiye is a village in Marmaris District, Muğla Province, Turkey. It belongs to the municipality of Bozburun, in the Bozburun peninsula. Selimiye is a lovely, quiet and picturesque seaside village refreshingly untouched by hectic tourism. Daily life ticks by at a slow village pace with locals out on their fishing boats, in the fields or escaping the summer heat in one of the tea houses dotted along the main road.
The village follows a natural curve around Selimiye Bay, with a pebble beach, a small old harbour for the local fishing boats and a surprisingly cosmopolitan marina for the yachts and the famous gulets. The harbour boasts a great selection of seafood restaurants, Turkish lokantas, cafes, craft shops and bohemian clothes shops. During the season, the locals harvest olives, olive oil, almonds, oregano, and honey. All of these products are delicious, well priced and available for purchase in the village.
Situated on the Bozburun Peninsula, Selimiye was initially ‘discovered’ by the Turkish as a relaxing holiday spot and is popular with the yachting fraternity. It has few hotels and even fewer holiday villas owing to tight building restrictions that apply along the coast. The Peninsula is a relatively short drive away from Marmaris and is a wonderful area in which to experience the ‘real’ Turkey.
