Bodrum is good for spending...
by Lalique
Bodrum is good for spending one's time at the seaside. But if you need tranquility, this place is not for you.
The best features: astonishingly clear water (much better than near Antalya), has the most popular disco in Turkey (Halicarnos), very live town which is full of young tourists during August/September
Sightseeing: the main thing to see is St. Peter castle, you won't miss it, it's Bodrums heart; ancient theatre; ancient Halikarnasus; tombs; bazaar or trading street (goes along the sea); windmills on the hill which separates Bodrum and Gumbet, all the other things you could find :))) Click on the map to enlarge
Turgutreis.. T'reis
by Erkmen
Turgutreis is the largest settlement in the peninsula.. The population is even more than Bodrum town center..
The long beach, the new Marina are the most attractive parts of the town.. Many buses which are travelling to Bodrum, do also visits Turgutreis.
Unlike Bodrum, Turgutreis is popular with its quiet, decent and relaxing atmosphere.. It is probably one of the rare places, that you can meet with Tourist from different countries and they call T'Reis as their home..
If you visit T'reis, dont forget to visit the charming Saturday market..

THIS WAY TO THE GREEK ISLANDS
by whitecliff62
This is the ferry port at Bodrum where they have frequent ferry and hydafoil crossings to the Greek island of Kos. This port is a border area so you will have to show your boarding passes and passports at the port and on entry to Greece, as well as back again. Duty free restrictions do apply on this service so you will be restricted on what you can bring in or out of Greece or Turkey
