A short walk west
of Bagla Koyu brings one
to the small resort village of Karaincir ('Black
Fig') where the broad sandy beach is lined with
hotels and restaurants and numerous sunning piers
are built out over the water. This is the furthest
point to the west visited by the Bodrum
daily boat tours.
A fairly long walk
past the village and up the hillside brings you
to the Çifik Castle on Aspat mountain.
Aspat, abbreviated from Aspandas, means 'not suitable
for ploughing', and the summit of the mountain
is reached by following a narrow path and stairways
through the remnants of ancient civilizations.
The view from the top is one of the finest on
the peninsula.
