However if you are feeling energetic
and strong enough for something more adventurous why not try your hand at Water-skiing and Windsurfing, the peninsula
beaches are highly recommended.
Horse-riding and river-rafting can be done just a little distance from Bodrum.
For those who like to be really adventurous, there are Jet skis or you might even fancy Parasailing. Jeep-Safaris
are offered by many companies now.
The waters around Bodrum are ideal for diving and snorkeling
Professional instructors are available for all levels of competence
from beginners to the "old hands"
 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'
thin sliced meat on a layer of fine grated chips with yoghurt.
Balik Express
 Just recently opened in the OASIS center, this kind of dishes was missed
since a long time. Next to the cinema you will find all famous Turkish dishes made with the shimmering "hamsi",
a small fish similar to anchovy, freshly delivered every second day from the Blacksea. There are at least forty
different dishes made with hamsi! Many poems, anecdotes and folk dances are inspired by this delicious fish. Tel.

Sandal Thai & Chinese
A restaurant that does justice to Oriental cuisine is SANDAL which serves excellent Thai and Chinese
dishes at very reasonable prices. To eat there is a rare pleasure and the only problem you may face is deciding
on a choice from their extensive menu. All the dishes that we tasted were
excellent. SANDAL is on Atatürk Street, a short walk east from the middle of town. - this is one of oldest
quality restaurants in Bodrum. Run by Mustafa and his Thai wife (the genius behind the superb dishes) since more
then 12 years. The authentic decoration makes you feel in one of these restaurants on the coast in Thailand. Tel

Ibo
Located in the heart of the hustle and bustle of central Bodrum Ibo is a traditional Turkish restaurant
set in the midst of the vines giving essential shade. Traditional Turkish musicians play their trade in the small
restaurant. There are a variety of foods on offer from simple Turkish dishes to basic western food. Pricing is
medium range.
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.
Türkbükü
The quieter resorts much favoured by the wealthy from Istanbul include this lovely village where the restaurants
nestle along the side of the Aegean, and the experience is enhanced by the restaurants actually spilling out onto
the water.
Please note that all sea food prices should be negotiated when you order to avoid unexpectedly high bills!
