Ever heard of the Karaburun Peninsula?... The Karaburun Peninsula lies in West-Anatolia, on the Turkish Aegean Coast northward of the Urla headland. Southern of Karaburun lies the tourist center of Çesme. The northern and eastern coast of the Karaburun Peninsula form the natural bay of Izmir. The superficies of the peninsula is 436 km². The
Karaburun Peninsula possesses a difficult geographical profile. The
north-south oriented 1.218 m. high Bozdag range is the backbone of the
peninsula. On many places the mountains or steep slopes fall directly
into the sea. This peculiar geography has got quite some influence on
the settlements of the peninsula. The
vegetation
is typical for the Mediterranean area. The borders of the district of Karaburun confine more or less with the natural borders of the peninsula. The little township of Karaburun is located at about 100 km from Izmir and at 46 km from Çesme. The distance over sea between Karaburun and Foça on the Turkish coast is 11 sea miles whilst the distance to the Greek Islands of Lesbos and of Chios are respectively 25 and 30 sea miles. How to get there... Karaburun City lies at 120 km from the Adnan Menderes Airport in Izmir. You can also fly in through the Turkish airports of Bodrum (300 km) and Dalaman (418 km). From the interurban bus-station of Balçova in Izmir a buss is leaving for Karaburun every half hour in summer and every hour in winter. The bus-trip lasts for about 2,5 hours.
