Getting there is easy as well, either by sea or the airport just 30 minutes’ drive away. Alternatively, in Bodrum town centre, just 20 minutes’ drive away, the large otogar (bus station) connects with the rest of Turkey via cheap and frequent bus routes.

Things to Do in Torba

Naturally, being a coastal resort, life revolves around the seafront where sunbathing, swimming, BBQs, and idyllic summer days make lifetime memories. Alternatively, boat trips regularly leave for cruises around the coastline, stopping for swimming breaks in small, scenic bays.

Yachts and boats sailing the Turkish Riviera also drop anchor in the bay, emphasising the nautical theme that has put the region on the map for the last 50 years. After dark, a low key but enjoyable atmosphere sweeps across Torba as everyone whole heatedly indulges in the summer tradition of al-fresco dining.

Torba also sits in an ideal position on the peninsula, so visiting surrounding towns and villages or exploring the landmarks and attractions are top day time excursions.
