The main town area of ​​Palamutbuku is located a little further inland from the coast; Here you will see almond trees. The reason why the town is far from the coast was the desire of the people to be protected from the pirates that once roamed the Aegean coast. Also, let's not forget that daily boat tours depart from Palamutbuku. You can come here to find the serenity and peace you are looking for, we are sure it will be worth it.

Aquarium Bay, with its sparkling sea that deserves its name, is a holiday destination that you should definitely visit in summer. There are many coves and beaches called Aquarium on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey, but we invite you to this natural wonder cove located next to Palamutbuk Beach because it is a real aquarium.
