Torba, Turkey

Torba, Turkey

Torba is a village near Bodrum in the Muğla Province, Turkey.

Torba is a tranquil sea-side village, located approximately 6 km. from the bustling resort of Bodrum town. Nestled in a bowl of olive groves and piney woods, the village seems a world away from the St. Tropez lifestyle of its near neighbor. Torba bay is calm and crystal clear, teaming with fish and haunted by seaturtles and the rare Mediterranean monk seal. The shoreline is blessed with secluded coves, ideal for picnics or a private swim. There are a handful of very good traditional restaurants, many featuring freshly grilled seafood and a range of authentic mezes (Turkish tapas). Despite some recent low-rise developments, the village still retains a relaxed, rural ambience.
