Göltürkbükü, Bodrum, Turkey

If your preference is to spend a holiday with a lower budget but still enjoy the sea to the fullest, these suggestions will make you happier. The first is the public beach operated by the Bodrum Municipality, located on the Türkbükü beach. Besides being able to swim in the sea for free, Türkbükü Cafe makes it even more enjoyable: you can rent sunbeds for very low prices, and you can have both breakfast and lunch at the cafe that serves affordable but delicious products. You can buy alcoholic and non-alcoholic cold drinks as well as tea and coffee. In this establishment, which also has tables and chairs in a large area, you can enjoy the sea and the food without overheating, accompanied by the beautiful windy weather of Türkbükü.

Another good suggestion is the recently opened public beach of the Ministry of Tourism and Culture Bodrum Türkbükü. This wonderful facility, opened by the Ministry in 2023, is a place that will meet all your expectations. Located next to the famous resort Maçakızı, this establishment provides access to an incredibly beautiful sea. When you first enter the facility, a large restaurant welcomes you. Here you can have breakfast when you arrive in the morning, and lunch or snacks later in the day at affordable prices. Afterward, small ring vehicles take you to the beach from here. You get off at the beach door after a short while, watching the view. Here you can rent sunbeds at affordable prices.

This beach, which has been designed in a long and thin way on a wooden platform, will delight you. Here it also meets your needs such as clean showers and changing cabins. There is also a bar where non-alcoholic hot and cold drinks are sold. In addition to the sun loungers here, if you have a group of a few people, you can also rent a lodge with a bed for your comfort at the far end of the platform. In this facility, you enter the sea not from the beach, but from a wide platform built on the sea. You can enter from the stairs or have fun by jumping into the sea. The sea is clean; don't forget to watch the fish by taking swimming goggles with you.

Another factor that makes this place beautiful is the view. Seeing the jet skis, and boats passing outside the area surrounded by pontoons while swimming and watching the moored yachts around the small island makes for an enjoyable experience.
