Turgutreis is the largest town on the western side of the Bodrum Peninsula, with a long promenade, a marina and a large community of second-home owners.
The drive across the peninsula
After the first stretch from the airport to Güvercinlik, the route bypasses or crosses Bodrum and continues west on the main peninsula road through Ortakent and past the Bitez turn. The last part runs down towards the south-west coast, with the Greek islands visible offshore on a clear day.
This is a longer ride than many visitors expect from the map, mainly because the road winds over the hills between the bays. In high summer, the section around Bodrum is the slowest part.
Staying in Turgutreis
Turgutreis is a working town as much as a resort, with shops, a weekly market, supermarkets and a marina that handles both yachts and local boats. Hotels and holiday apartments are spread along the flat seafront and up the roads behind it, while villa complexes sit on the slopes to the north and south.
It suits families who want a beach and an easy walk to cafes, and long-stay visitors who prefer a place that stays open beyond the peak months. Sunsets over the islands are a big part of the evening routine here.
Practical points for this route
- Villas and site complexes
- Many addresses are inside gated sites with several blocks. Send the site name and block or villa number so the driver can find the right gate.
- Groups and long stays
- Families with a month of luggage or two households travelling together usually need a minivan rather than a car.
- Sailing from the marina
- If you are joining a boat at Turgutreis marina, give the berth or charter company name when booking.
