Akyarlar, south of
Turgutreis on the western shore of
the Bodrum peninsula in Aegean
Turkey,
is several resorts in one.
Two large hotels, the Kefaluka and
Xanadu Island, draw
your eye right away, but in fact Akyarlar is
more like a collection of small coves
and bays backed by hills dotted with
small pensions and hotels. Choose one
from these:
The beaches are varied. To the east
is Karaincir Beach, framed
by hills, with darkish sand, some pebbles,
shade trees just inland, and a few
small snack stands and restaurants.
The beach just to the west is actually
prittier. Farther to the west and north, Meteor
Beach has a small amount of
sand, but most swimming is done from
concrete platforms along the shore.
Although maps show a road continuing
along the shore between Akyarlar and
Bodrum, it is rough and slow in places.
The best way to get to Akyarlar is
by the main road from Bodrum via Ortakent to Turgutreis, then south along the
shore from Turgutreis.
Minibuses run frequently between Akyarlar
and Turgutreis.
