Torba.. nice and easy
Torba is located on the north of Bodrum peninsula and very close
to Bodrum center,
only 6 km. Torba
is a small sea-side village nestled in a bowl of olive groves
and pine
forests. The bay is secluded and the sea very calm and clean.
It has a sandy and pebbly
beach.
If
you are lucky, you might see a sea turtle or a Mediterranean
monk seal ( Monachus
Monachus ) which are also local residents of the area. Mediterranean
monk seals are
very rare and one of the most endangered mammals in the world.
There
are a couple of very good traditional restaurants, many featuring
freshly grilled
seafood and a range of authentic Turkish mezes. Torba is only
10 minutes away from
Bodrum center by minibuses ( dolmus ).
