A crystalline bay and wooded shoreline backed by imposing mountains, gulets sailing silently between sun bleached islets and a pace of life almost in reverse. These are just some of the attractions of the backwater hamlet of Tasbuku on the shores of the Gulf of Gokova. The hamlet itself is home to a few farming families, two small beachside motels with simple restaurants and the Mandalin Villas in their lush gardens. We have only ten detached villas with their own 4500sqm lush gardens, communal pool, pool-bar and Cafe Mandalin.
