Nestled in a tranquil bay, Guvercinlik is nothing short of azure waters, rugged cliffs, secluded bays and towering hillsides.
But Guvercinlik's charm goes beyond its natural beauty. The town is a playground for adventure and history from windsurfing, jet-skiing, hiking and biking to ancient ruins and historic sites dotting the landscape. Visitors can enjoy boat trips, explore the remains of the ancient city of Iasos, wander the narrow streets of the Old Town, or marvel at the nearby Bodrum Castle. The slow-paced town is also home to boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants infused with Mediterranean flavours and classic Turkish recipes. Pack for peace, a break from the Bodrum buzz and hiking among fauna and flora in hidden hotspots away from the main tourist trail.
