Turgut Reis is one of the most important holiday spots of Turkey and 18 km. away from the Bodrum and is named after the famous admiral, Turgut Reis.

He's born here in the early XVI. C. Turgut Reis raised from humble origins to command the Ottoman navy, conquered Corsica and returned to Istanbul with a great number of prisoners. In 1595, during an attempt to take Malta he's killed. Near Turgutreis Town there is a statue of him. This bustling town has good beaches, many shops and restaurants and several fine hotels.

Together with neighbouring Kadikalesi, Turgut Reis is a Windsurfers Paradise. The strong prevailing winds and current create challenging and unpredictable conditions. After a day at sea there are many bars and cafes in which to relax and enjoy the sunsets to which Turgut Reis is renowned. The most popular restaurants are those offering typical Turkish specialities such as "pide" and other oven backed delights.

Saturday is market day and the town fills up with villagers bringing fresh produce to sell. Each stall of sun repened tomatoes, deep purple aubergines, shiny olives and enormous watermalons tempts you to buy, or to take some memorable snapshots.
