Cold Water Bay
Bestas Limani is more commonly known as Cold Water Bay because of the numerous cold-water springs that flow down into the sea from the Taurus Mountains. It is a place to swim but be prepared that the water will be colder than elsewhere on this stretch of coastline. On a hot day, it may be just what you want. If you fancy it, join the people jumping in from the rocks above. It is also a great place for hikers with the most interesting find certainly the abandoned village of Kayakoy which the Greeks left in 1923 on the foundation of the Turkish Republic. The forest has encroached somewhat but it remains an interesting place that was recently used for scenes from Russell Crowe’s film, ‘’The Water Diviner.’’
Cold Water Bay is located near Fethiye (Turkey) 36° 33' 50.3928" N , 29° 4' 56.7516" E
