Turgutreis, Turkey

Turgutreis, Turkey

To use a holiday brochure cliche, the Bodrum Peninsula has a holiday resort to suit everyone, from the bustling city of Bodrum to the peaceful sandy beaches of Bitez that are so ideal for paddling. Watersports enthusiasts have plenty to keep them occupied here, and there's plenty of history and rural charm if you want to experience the 'real' Turkey.

Lying at the outermost promontory of the Bodrum peninsula, Turgutreis has developed from its origins as a small sleepy fishing village to a thriving holiday resort whose waterfront now boasts a new modern marina to complement its long sand and shingle beach. In the main square, behind the harbour and hotels, you will find a wide selection of cafes, bars and restaurants.

Sightseeing & Activities

Even if you are not staying in Bodrum a visit to this busy resort is a wonderful day out. The Castle of St Peter with its amazing maritime museum is fascinating; alternatively stroll through the marina with its charming boutiques and elegant yachts. There is a fantastic selection of waterfront shops, and Bodrum's pedestrian shopping lanes will keep you busy during the day. All around the Bodrum peninsular there are wonderful opportunities for watersports. You can try your hand at water skiing, parasailing, dinghy sailing, windsurfing or perhaps the more sedate pastimes of canoeing or pedaloes. For more organised excursions experience a day out to Ephesus, one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the world. Also worth a visit is Pamukkale, one of nature's phenomena where hot mineral waters flow down the mountain and have solidified to form snowy white pools. As you might expect, boat trips are widely available and you can even take your passport and take a trip to the nearby Greek island of Kos.
