Orak island is 7 nautical miles fom Bodrum. Since it is quite close to Bodrum, yachts visit this place very often. It takes about 2 hours to reach from Bodrum by yacht. Thats why, especially during the day, many yachts can be seen here. At noon, this bay becomes so crowded that it looks like a festival place. In the evening, the yachts sail back to Bodrum. Just a few of them stay there to spend the night in silence.

The vicinity of Orak Island is rocky, and it is covered with bushes. That’s why, it is difficult to land and take a walk on the island. Rats have been seen on the island in recent years. however, despite these negative features, the sea is beautiful. It is emerald green by the shore and becomes dark blue as it gets deeper. Children can swim very safely by the shore because the water is sp shallow there.
