Overall

I have just come back from Ortakent just outside Bodrum and loved it completly, although i would not advise to go in the summer holidays (i went just before on july 10th) as it is very hot and very very busy. The Turks have a fascinating culture and are incredably friendly... forget all of the rumors and rubbish surrounding blonde hair in Turkey, i went with my mum and we both have very blonde hair and ever had any problems what so ever. Yhasi beach (AKA Camel beach) is one of the best it is situated in Ortakent and has beautifull waters and is a official blue flag beach... BEWEAR of the sea urchins though, the water is very shallow ideal for small children although the are alot of sharp spikey corel which are very painfull to get pricked or stand on. The only gripe was that were we were situated in Ortakent was about a 20 minuet walk to the tavernas and resturants.
