Holidays in Turgutreis

The second largest town on the Bodrum peninsula in Turkey, Turgutreis holidays are best known for their stunning sunsets and the shopping experience offered by the special weekly Saturday market which bears a closer resemblance to Anatolia than to an Aegean retreat. The pristine and sandy beaches extend for a few miles in the vicinity of the town and a large group of tiny islets dotting the peninsula offer stunning and memorable views of the Aegean.

Planning your Turgutreis holidays

Winters are the best time to visit Turgutreis as during summers the mercury can rise as high as 35 degrees. Nonetheless, summers are made bearable by the cooling sea breezes. Turgutreis can be easily accessed by the dolmus, which run every 20 minutes during the peak season. The islands can also be explored by car or moped as there are parking options along the beaches. The marina has ferries to Bodrum town and Kos in Greece. The time zone is GMT +2.

Highlights of Turgutreis holidays

Turgutreis holidays offer opportunities for hiking and exploring the striking coastline. Take the trail across the hilly terrain from Turgutreis to Akyarlar and enjoy panoramic views of the Aegean coastline or relax on one of the multitude of beaches and watch the sunset while enjoying a glass of chilled Efes. The beaches stretch for miles along the coastline and are dotted with bars and restaurants where travellers can unwind. Tourists can also take a day trip by hydrofoil to Kos in Greece. There are windsurfing and boating lessons in the mornings at the quiet bay of Kadikalesi that visitors can participate in and located between the mosque and the beach there are many colourful shops where travellers can haggle for souvenirs.
