It's a part of Bodrum you don't associate with the normal 18- 26 year olds that go there for the plenty full bars and nightclubs, in fact its the complete opposite of that. I have travelled around most of the holiday resorts in Turkey, including Marmaris, Icemeler, Turunc, Kusdasi, Alanya and Bodrum. But this area is another world, quite little villages dotted around the sea offering the most spectacular views of the mountains, and thats why we fell in love with it, as well as the affordablity factor.
We were staying at the Queens apartments in Gumbet at the time, and decided to hire mopeds (quickest and cheapest transport) to look around the villages, we started off by travelling straight down to Turgutreis, which is a little costal town, quite windy and great for surfing but can get busy during peak season, but as we were there in October most of the businesses were getting ready to close for the winter. It's one of those areas that is restricted for foreighners to buy into, I think they call this millitary zone. Buying is possible in this area and there were certanly some estate agents advertising some very attractive price's but you have to watch out, because as I understand you have to form a company which has to be trading for a year , before you can invest into this area. And I have heard it can take quite a while to sell the company so one area that we have definitley ruled out!
Moving on..we came across many other prettly little villages nested between mountains...that were not over populated with tourists and where you could experience the real Turkish living, the serenity of these places (tucked away in the mountains they aren't your typical resort areas) so tend to be less crowded, and appealed to us alot more...these included Gündogan, Gümüslük, Yalikavak, Torba and Türkbükü.
