About this place
Türkbükü is the most exclusive and fashionable beach destination on the Bodrum peninsula, a sheltered double bay on the northern coastline around 18 kilometres from Bodrum town. Long established as the favourite summer retreat of Turkish celebrities, artists, and socialites, the village combines a beautiful natural setting of calm turquoise waters with an atmosphere of understated luxury, world-class beach clubs, and acclaimed waterfront restaurants.
Tips
Reserve a sun lounger at one of the beach clubs well in advance during peak season, as the most sought-after spots fill up quickly and Türkbükü draws a discerning and loyal summer crowd from July through August. The waterfront restaurants and meyhanes are among the finest on the entire peninsula, making a long dinner by the water an essential part of the Türkbükü experience. Visit outside of peak season in late May, June, or September for a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere while still enjoying the beautiful natural setting. Türkbükü is easily reached by dolmuş minibus or taxi from Bodrum town, and pairs naturally with the neighbouring Göltürkbükü bay just around the headland for a full and indulgent day on the northern coast.
