Have just returned from a wonderful two weeks in Olu Deniz, so of course we're now thinking about where to go next year! We loved Olu, & would like to try somewhere of similar size, with a nice beach. Normally during a 2 week holiday, we spend 3/4 days on trips, the rest at the beach. I'm quite happy to doss about all day, reading, swimming, etc, but my other half gets bored so its handy if he can wander off somewhere for an hour or so in the middle of the day. We are thinking of Bitez or Turgetreis but what are the options for him to go for a walk somewhere at these places? Also, what is the nightlife like? Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sandie,
can't speak for turgetries, bitez is a laid back place with not much night life apart from restaurants etc.
easy to get to bodrum/ gumbet for night life though.
beach is fairly narrow with sand a bit on the coarse side in the central area but softer and wider at each end away from the centre.
I THINK that turgetries is quieter and smaller.

You're wrong Del, we had a day out to Turgutries and was quite surprised at the size of it. In fact it seemed more like a small town in places. The sea front was OK, much like the others in the Bodrum area.
We talked to some people who had stayed there, and their hotel was nowhere near the resort centre. I think there is another beach area where a lot of the hotels are.
We wouldn't go there for a holiday. Much prefer good old Bitez.
Not too long before you go back to Bitez, is it Del.
Bye...........Marn, and Mike.

Hi Del, what's with the new avatar? Is it Goa beach 
mike
certainly is, Ashvem beach............must be close to paradise!!!
made a mistake re turgetries, I was thinking odf Gumusluk.
Turgetries is were the market is and you'r right, it is bigger than bitez, also the shops are under cover which makes for some shade when it's scorching

Thanks for the info - but what about a walk for 'im indoors'? Also can you recommend any hotels which have a fridge/minibar & a bit of life in the bar at night? When I mentioned nightlife I don't mean I'm looking for clubs/discos ( we're a bit long in the tooth for that!) but like a bit of music & to have chat with a few people over a drink.
If you decide on Bitez you will find a lot of people on this forum will say "go to the Manuela Hotel"
Just search for Manuela hotel and you will find many reports about it.
The rooms do have a fridge, and the bar is the most lively one in Bitez.
Also a very friendly hotel.

There are some good walks along the coast from Bitez - I am told that you can walk to Gumbet but I am a bit too long in the tooth to have made it all the way. We usually walk in the morning and have gone a good way round the headland. Also, you can walk through the village to the main road - it is very interesting to see all the 'posh' houses up there!! We love Bitez and will be back there in September.
Thanks everyone. Bitez is looking favourite right now! Unless of course anyone comes along to persuade me otherwise!
I too can vouch for Bitez and the Manuela you really can't fail to have a good time

Hi,we went to Gumbet back in May and ended up going to Bitez for the day,it was a lovely place,we loved the beach and the sea was gorgeous,we wished we were staying there instead of Gumbet,plenty of nice places to eat to,the place we eat in (can't remember the name now)even drove us back to Gumbet for free,but that's typical of turkish people they are truly lovely,luv,Maz,xxx.
