Torba in Aegean Coast

This pretty little village is gradually becoming one of the most sought after areas on the Bodrum peninsula. Backed by hillsides richly scented with wild growing herbs, both pebble and sandy beaches can be found here, offering a range of popular watersports. A ferry service also runs from Torba to Didyma where the famed Temple of Apollo can be found. Nestled on a hillside overlooking the village of Torba, a superbly preserved structure built by the Lelegians over 2500 years ago offers a reminder of the area´s past, while the ruins of a Byzantine monastery stand on the east side of the bay. A small selection of traditional shops, bars and restaurants can be found in the village including Turkish style open markets where hand made items, fresh food and souvenirs can be bought, whilst a wider selection can be found in nearby Bodrum.
