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, Dereköy 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 a visit to the interior perhaps the most rewarding experience to be found on the peninsula.
