Ortakent Holidays
Ortakent, meaning ‘middle town’, is a quiet, peaceful town located on the south coast of the Bodrum Peninsula, home to some of the area's best beaches. The resort's main attraction is the fact that it has resisted mass tourism and has retained its original beauty.
Crowning the village is the Mustafa Pasa, one of 13 original tower houses in the area. Built during the 17th century to defend the village, it boasts steadfast metre-thick walls and canon posts. A strip of green, fertile valleys, a lush oasis and neat market gardens separate Ortakent’s beach from the village itself. Here you’ll find lush citrus groves and sweet smelling orchards heavy with ripening figs, plump olives and zesty mandarins.
