Torba is a beautiful Mediterranean style fishing village set in a tranquil location on the Bodrum Peninsular and only 5km away from the hustle and bustle of Bodrum town centre.

Torba consists of a small but ample selection on good bars and restaurants, with some of Turkey's best hotels. The reputation amongst the Turkish people is that Torba is where the rich and famous Turks like to spend summer vacations and many have homes there.

The harbour is where all the main activity takes place and a small beach runs along the whole length of Torba Bay and is free to use. You can use the bigger beaches by the hotels but a charge may be made.

Only 5km from our Villa, Bodrum is vastly different from Torba. If you like the hustle and bustle of big towns then you must pay Bodrum a visit. Fantastic during the day for shopping and site seeing, the castle and harbour especially.

At night Bodrum comes alive with all the bars, clubs and restaurants doing a great trade. Bodrum is very cosmopolitan and you will find a huge range of international restaurants as well as many Turkish ones. The markets are great places to visit but remember to haggle with the stall holders, you have been warned.

The bus service from Torba to Bodrum runs until 6 a.m. in the morning during the summer season so if you fancy that late night you can still get home to the peace and quiet of our lovely villa.
