Turgutreis the largest residential area after Bodrum, is a charming town on the Aegean coast of Turkey, just 20 minutes from the buzzing, vibrant town of Bodrum. In the town there is a statue of great seaman, Turgut Reis, a famous captain from the region that is named after him.

Travelling towards Turgutreis you suddenly reach a hill above the town and will be stunned by the beautiful view spread out before you beyond the white buildings and tall mosque spires of Turgutreis, a cluster of small islands lie in the calm blue waters of the Aegean sea.

Turgutreis has everything the holidaymaker could desire. If you are looking to soak up the sun or take a refreshing swim, the beach at Turgutreis is the perfect spot. Alternatively, if you want to be a bit more energetic and partake of some action-packed water sports, then you have come to the right place for this too.

Turgutreis has probably the best beach on the Bodrum Peninsula, mile upon mile of golden sand scattered with sunbeds and umbrellas, bordered by cafe-bars and restaurants. In the evenings, the thing not to be missed are the spectacular sunsets. The very best place to see the sun setting over the islands and disappearing into the sea.

Don't think that this is all - the night life in Turgutreis has something for everyone. Plenty of wonderful restaurants offering both international and traditional Turkish cuisine to tempt you.

There is a good selection of quiet lounge bars where you can sit peacefully and sip a cocktail or dance the night away in one of the many disco-bars, which are situated on the outskirts of town so as not to disturb those of you who prefer the peace and quiet!
