Property in Turgutreis

This coastal town is named to honour a native son, the distinguished Ottoman Admiral Turgut Reis known in European naval lore as Dragut. Today it is a bustling municipality with many shops and restaurants, good beaches and a number of fine hotels. It also bears administrative responsibility for the seaside resorts of Aspat, Akyarlar and Kadikalesi.

A scattering of islands to the West marks one of the sea lanes of antiquity where many an ancient ship foundered on barely submerged rocks. Here some of the first underwater archeological discoveries were made which led to the foundation of the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archeology.With its challenging, unpredictable winds and currents the area is a paradise for experienced.
