Prestigious Turgutreis
Turgutreis is located 20 km from Bodrum. This beach resort attracts lovers of water sports. Twelve small islands in the sea opposite the Kadikale beach form a rare zone on the Turkish coast for diving and boat trips. On the seabed are still found fragments of ancient amphorae, wreckage fragments and other artefacts of the II-I centuries BC.
Turgutreis Marina can receive 500 yachts around its piers. Every year in October, a Mediterranean sailing regatta starts from the local port, and then the cost of renting housing in the village rises by 20-30%.
This is explained simply: yacht rental is estimated at an average of € 2,500-3,000 per week, and the main holidaymakers in Turgutreis are the families of wealthy yachtsmen. Therefore, apartment prices are the highest in this district, because real estate owners receive the most significant income from renting it out.

Therefore, secondary market real estate here is rarely offered for sale; almost all hotels and guest houses are new. In addition, it is the “greenest” resort in the region: cutting down old trees is prohibited; therefore, houses are surrounded by palm trees and centuries-old pine trees.
Green trees surround Golturkbuku.
There is a pebble beach with an uncomfortable steep entrance to the sea and constant waves. A pine forest borders the narrow strip of the beach, so even in July, is not too hot. The resort is not suitable for children and divers, but surfers love it because from the sea from May to the end of September there is a constant breeze.
The route to the village runs far from the coast, and the infrastructure has not yet been fully formed. But judging from the interest in Golturkbuku by US citizens, who have been choosing this resort from among all the other cities, shows great promise.
