Torba
Torba tucks into a protected bay at the extreme north east corner of the peninsula.
A popular residential area for those looking for peace and quiet yet easily
accessible to Bodrum, Torba features a long coastline dotted with small pensions
and bars and isolated stretches for private sunbathing and swimming.
Torba is also a popular haven for local fishermen and yachtsmen seeking to unload
their catch or the quiet haven of the well-protected harbor. In addition a ferryboat
makes daily runs across the unspoiled Gulf of Gulluk to Didim, a wonderful opportunity
to view the magnificent Temple of Apollo and combine a pleasant boat trip at
the same time.
On addition to the above, numerous small villages abound in the peninsula center
and although lacking the obvious benefits of sea and beaches all offer special
attractions all their own. Villages like Yahsi, Derekoy and Dagbelen hide such
treasures as the ruins of deserted villages, monasteries and ancient rock tombs.
These seldom visited sites combined with the opportunity to meet and enjoy traditional
Turkish hospitality and witness village life much unchanged as it was hundreds
of years ago make
