Beaches & Bays
Swim in a bay with no road to it
The coves that stay empty because you cannot drive to them.
βΊβΊA dayJune to October
Not yet checked by the Smileys team β prices and hours may have moved.
Why do it?
A good part of the coastline has no road behind it. Those bays are reachable only from the water, which is exactly why they are still quiet in August β the crowd is a function of the car park, and there isn't one.
The Smileys Take
This is the single biggest difference between a Bodrum holiday and a Bodrum day. If you do one thing from the water, make it this rather than a busier beach with a better car park.
Good to know
- Take shade and water β an anchored boat has less of both than you expect.
- Swim shoes if you plan to land: many of these coves are stone, not sand.
Do it with people
Nothing is scheduled around this in Bodrum yet. When a host plans it, it shows here β the calendar and hangouts are the places to look meanwhile.
