Bodrum - photos and reviews
This place is called the most party resort in the country. Bodrum on a map of Turkey is located in the very north of Gokova Bay, in the Aegean Sea. This is the border with the Mediterranean. And directly opposite Bodrum is the Greek island of Kos. In addition, it is the center of a huge resort area with fourteen bays. Surfers and active sports enthusiasts come here. According to tourists, this is a very good place to visit almost any corner of Turkey. From the local bus station, public transport leaves in Pamukkale, and in Izmir, and in Istanbul, and in Ankara. The town itself is unusually picturesque, especially in the evenings, and is famous for its port, markets and the ancient fortress of St. Peter. By the way, the castle has an exhibition of Islamic glass and the country's only museum of underwater archeology. And from the harbor, many wooden boats - gulets - go for walks. At this place once stood one of the seven wonders of the world. This is the mausoleum of Halicarnassus, and if you are a lover of antiquities, you can look at what remains of it. The village of Torba, where the Ora Hotel is located, is one of the resort places closest to the center of Bodrum. It is considered to be fashionable, not so many hotels have been built here, and the water is of amazing purity.
Bodrum Hotels
The city and surrounding areas are amphitheater in a natural pit. On the terraces along its walls are hotels of different categories. Almost all the beaches of the resort belong to them. If such hotels have elevators that transport tourists from above directly to the sea, then these are usually 5 hotels. Bodrum is famous for its luxurious first-class complexes, such as Marmara, Kariya Princess, Ersan Resort and Spa, Club Virgin and so on. They are far from the center, but they have a huge territory and represent entire mini-towns for recreation. However, as experienced travelers assure, the difference between them and class 4 hotels is not huge at all. Quite often, the local “fours” are better than the Anatolian “fives” and are absolutely not inferior to local hotels of the highest category. Torba hotels are known for being designed by famous architects, and they fit perfectly into the local forest landscapes.
How to arrive at the hotel
Russian vacationers traveling with travel agencies, as a rule, fly to Dalaman airport. From there, they get to the place for two hours.

And it doesn’t matter which airport you fly to - Bodrum or Milas. It takes forty-five minutes to get to Bodrum from any of them - a maximum of about an hour. And then you can transfer to the Dolmush minibus, which stops right in front of the Ora Holiday Village 4 Hotel (Bodrum). Drive to Torba - about fifteen minutes. But keep in mind that minibuses run exclusively during the day.
