The Bodrum City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to eat fish without paying marina prices, which villages are worth a dolmuş ride, where to watch the sun go down and which bars are straight with the bill. They cover the whole peninsula, from the castle town to Gümüşlük, Yalıkavak and Turgutreis, and reach further to Kos, Milas and Ephesus. Every place comes with the reason it made the list, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and your guides open in the browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Otantik Ocakbaşı
Atatürk Caddesi, Çarşı, Bodrum town
Sit by the open grill and watch your skewers turn over the coals: Adana kebab, lamb ribs and liver with salad and flatbread, for roughly half the cost of a fish dinner on the harbour. From the food guide.
Myndos Antik Kenti
Gümüşlük, 40 minutes by dolmuş
What is left of ancient Myndos lies on the headland and the islet next to Gümüşlük. When the water is low you can cross the causeway on foot, then climb the hill for sunset. There is no ticket to buy. From the budget guide.
Mavi Bar
Kumbahçe, Cumhuriyet Caddesi
A tiny bar by the sea that has been open since 1983, with live Turkish and international songs and a crowd mostly over thirty that knows every chorus. Ask what a drink costs before you order. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your Bodrum days
Day one: start at the castle and the marina, have lunch at an ocakbaşı in the old town and climb to the windmills for sunset. Day two: take a dolmuş out along the peninsula for a beach in Ortakent or Bitez, then stay in Gümüşlük for fish and the evening light over Rabbit Island. For a rainy or slow day, mix the Maritime Museum, a traditional hamam, the covered Bodrum Bazaar and a long meyhane dinner of meze and raki.
