Ortakent – meaning “middle town” in Turkish, as it lies in the center of the Bodrum peninsula, is a perfect base to start exploring the region.
It is famous for Camel Beach, the longest stretch of sandy beach on the peninsula, so clean that it was awarded the courted Blue Flag, & it is the leading venue of the region where one can experience the unaffected local way of life. Between the beach & the centre of Ortakent, lies a village of Yahşi, with its green valley of fig, olive & mandarin trees. Also, two biggest supermarkets – Metro and Kipa, are located in Ortakent.
