Sünger Pizza
 Cheap and cheerful - opposite the marina. Best Pizza and meeting point of the town. It is always crowded
with locals and the sailing crowd. If you venture on to the roof terrace there are tremendous views over the Harbour
towards the castle. The personality of the place reflects the local well-known owner. Try 'Çökertme',
that's thin sliced meat on a layer of very fine grated chips with yoghurt.

For those who want to venture a little further from Bodrum we recommend:
Gümüslük

A sunken city and harbour from ancient times, coupled with a fishing village, interesting walk
across the sunken city wall to Rabbit island provides a superb back drop for the restaurants that line the harbour.
A true delight is watching the sun slowly sinking into the Aegean sea on a warm summers evening. The restaurants
serve traditional food with particular emphasis on Fish freshly caught.
Please note that all sea food prices should be negotiated when you order to avoid unexpectedly high bills!
And be careful when ordering wine. Turkey has recently raised up the VAT on alcoholic drinks up to 26 %. Instead
of white wine with the fish try a Raki.
Gümüscafe-Restaurant "The Oven"
Enjoy dining in style, listen to soft jazz, whilst sitting by the sea. Stuff is perfect in English
and German. Tel. 394 4234
