3. Bardakci Cove

Reviewed By ipekpur - Istanbul, Turkey
The sea was bright clear without any sea weeds and golden sand. There are only 3 hotels and a beach in the bay. Best hotel must be Voyage Bardakci. We stayed at Azka which is the oldest one in the bay but it was mostly renewed. Another best thing about Bardakci Bay is that you can go from the bay to Bodrum centeral bazaar and marina with sea taxi (kind of a bus that goes every 10 minutes for 15 Lira per person but the money is worth it for the view of the Bodrum castle from the sea and cool air on the way in very hot months especially. When you use the sea bus, you really feel like a local, it is great.
