Orak Island

Orak Island is a hidden gem located to the east of Bodrum, celebrated for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine natural beauty. Often compared to the Maldives due to its extraordinary clarity and vibrant underwater life, the island is an uninhabited paradise accessible only by sea. The sheltered bay on the island's southern coast provides an ideal anchorage for yachts, offering a serene environment for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. With no land access or facilities, Orak Island remains a top destination for those seeking tranquility and an untouched Mediterranean landscape during their blue cruise.

Logistics & Technical

Orak Island is located about 10 miles east of Bodrum. It is an uninhabited island offering a vast bay on its southern coast, which is a perfect refuge from the northern Meltemi winds. The seabed consists of white sand, providing excellent holding. However, the extreme clarity of the water can be deceptive regarding depth, so keep a close watch on your depth sounder. While the eastern side is deeper, the western part of the bay is shallower. Overnight stays are very comfortable during calm weather conditions.
