    First time I stayed at Torba, and only went to our hotel beach in Torba. All the other times I have been in Bodrum I have stayed inside the town. . City beaches…. To my surprise (aug. 2004) they have gotten the beach back next to the main(walking)road before you get to Halikarnasos (walking from the Castle). There is also a beach down at the other side of the hill where Halikarnasos is. (Bathing opportunities also at Halikarnasos, but you might be a guest there?). I haven't been to the west side of Bodrum harbour. . Peninsula beaches…. Around the peninsula there are a lot of bays with bigger or smaller beaches. . I'v been to most of the beaches and can't complain on none of them. Even the few beaches with a bit “mud” in the sand is quite clear, and doesn’t scare me off bathing (I’m scared of the sea!).

  • Directions: Take the dolmus from the main bus stop to the different beaches, if you don’t have a bike or car. The dolmus ride normally end at a beach. All around the peninsula.

    I remember where there was nothing between Bodrum and Bardakci cove. The only way to get there was if you had a boat. A famous Turkish singer -Zeki Muren- would always go there to enjoy the clear waters and isolate himself from the crowd. I can't believe they built so many hotels etc. to join Bodrum & Bardakci and even Gumbet all together.. I really miss the way Bodrum looked and felt back in mid 80s..

    This location probably has the best wind in greater Bodrum area and definetely the best conditions for WindSurfing in 200km radius. The only other place that comes close to this location for WindSurfing is Cesme - Alacati surf paradise.

  • Directions: You need to go towards Turgutreis from Bodrum (more West) Once reached Turgutreis, follow the signs for Akyarlar and you can not miss the light house after about 6 km or so on the right hand side.

    The amphitheatre is situated on the hillside overlooking Bodrum. The theatre consists of three different sections: a place for the audience, a place for an orchestra and the stage and can seat around 13.000 people. It was built between 330 - 30 BC. It became an open-air museum after the excavations in 1973.

  • Directions: Next to the main road on the hill above the city, follow the yellow signs reading "Antik Tiyatro".

    The ancient city of Halikarnassos (former name for Bodrum) was surrounded by a city wall. Myndos Gate was an important part of the city wall and one of the two entrances. It was at this gate that in 333 B.C. Alexander the Great tried to enter the city. However, he and his soldiers had a hard time to enter but finally succeeded.

    Efese is worth the visit, although... If you've seen Forum Romanum in Rome you won't be impressed. Besides it's crowded of tourists from all over the world.

    I spent my hours/days waiting for the wind to pick up.. We would pray for strong winds the night before so that no beginners dare to take classes, and we get to enjoy the wind..:))

    You have no idea how much memories I have in this place. Gumbet is the place where I spent all of my summer days between '85 & '89. Where I learned to windsurf and then worked as an instructor for 3 summers in a row. Even though my family had a nice house 2 miles away, I chose to stay in my tent 50 yards away from the sea and the surf boards..:)) The number of hotels/motels went form a handful to hundreds in 15 years. It got ridiciluosly crowded and ugly compared to what I remember of Gumbet. It used to be the camping and swimming spot cuz it's so very close to Bodrum. There were these jeeps (acting as a dolmus) that were leaving from the bus terminal in Bodrum every 5 -10 min to take you to Gumbet. It's about 10 min ride for a small fee, and they will stop anywhere you asked them to. Btw, Gumbet is the name given to these little white-domed cisterns.
