The name
'Ortakent' means 'Middle town' and, lying in the centre of
the Bodrum peninsula on the main Turgutreis-Bodrum road,
Ortakent is ideally central base from which to explore the
region.
The beach is long and wide, with cooling off-sea breezes
which provide relief from the intense summer heat and speed
up the tanning process.
Between the beach and the village lies a green, fertile
valley with fig, olive and mandarin trees, and neat market
gardens typical of the agricultural backbone of this area.
When passing through the village, it is worth making a short
detour to see the seventeenth century 'Mustafa Pasha tower',
built for defensive purposes, and one of the best surviving
examples of this type of structure.
