Turgutreis on the Bodrum penninsula in Turkey, is a warm and friendly holiday resort with its traditional shops and seaside restaurants (displaying freshly caught fish of the day on a bed of ice), as well as a beautiful marina, with designer shops and beautiful restaurants.   One can enjoy a wonderful meal by the sea, watching the sunset, at a delicious price (either on the beautiful new marina, or by the older parade on the quayside restaurant tables, where one can watch the sun go down!).   Alternatively one can dine by the sea in the day, and enjoy the wonderful sunset views from your own home, sun bathing and dining on the top floor of Swan Villa 1/2.  There are many lively bars and restaurants, offering Turkish evenings, football bars, kareoke, dancing.  There are no nightclubs.   Turgutreis is therefore suitable for families and people looking for a quieter holiday, yet lively enough for an enjoyable evening out, after a day in the sun and sea.   The huge Saturday market offers something for everyone and the fresh fruit and vegetables are definintely worth a visit, although these are also in abundance in supermarkets only 5 minutes walk away from the villas.  There are plenty of villages to visit and the bustling town of Bodrum is only a bus/'dolmus' ride away.
