Two villages, Gölköy and Türkbükü, came together to form what is for many foreign visitors the unpronounceable name of Göltürkbükü (gurl-TEWRK-bew-kew) on the north shore of Turkey’s Bodrum Peninsula (map).

Small hotels and villas fill the land inland from the beach, and large holiday resort compexes dot the landscape beyond the towns. More…
Minibuses travel between Bodrum‘s Otogar (bus terminal) and Göltürkbükü frequently throughout the day.
