A rare place where ocean, lake and river meet, offering a unique experience. For those of you who have become tired of mass tourist beaches with acres of bodies jostling for sunbeds and umbrellas, concrete hotels with mass produced food and packed tourist buses, which have become associated with resorts such as Bodrum, it is refreshing to discover that Bodrum has another side.
The exciting thing about Bafa is that it is not “exciting”. If you want to relax on a beach watching the world go by, swim in the lake or are fascinated by nature, bird watching or by trekking along the Lycian Way in the mountains above the lake, this is the place for you.

If you want to be taken by boat to a deserted beach with an ice chest full of food and drink, this is the place for you.
Our idyllic location, Kapikiri, is located within the area of the ancient port city of Herakleia. From a Byzantine Castle and Island Monasteries to the remains of a Classical Theatre and a Temple to Athene and Ancient City Walls extending right up the mountain behind the village, Kapikiri – Herakleia has it all.
But, if you really did want more, a host of Classical Sites are easily within your reach. Ephesus, Priene, Miletus, Euromos and Didyma are all within an hour and a half drive.
For most of us in Europe wanting an idyllic beach holiday away from the tourist crowds we would have to travel to the other side of the planet. But this gem is within 4 hours flight of a dozen or more European Regional airports.
