Türkbükü Beach Club Afternoon
Türkbükü's signature day, iskele lunch, an afternoon on a beach platform, sunset cocktails, dinner where the boats keep arriving
Galia
Day-bed reservations through Kuum's concierge, non-residents accepted with a minimum spend. The DJ programme runs Friday and Saturday from late June; the Wednesday live set is the quieter way in.
Göltürkbükü Mah., Atatürk Cad. No:150, Kuum Hotel, Türkbükü, Bodrum
Hakkasan Bodrum
Order the signature crispy duck salad and the stir-fry black truffle wagyu; take a corner table on the terrace deck rather than the inner room, which loses the Aegean to the soundtrack.
Mandarin Oriental Bodrum, Göltürkbükü Mah., 314. Sok. No:12/1, 48400 Bodrum

Bodrum MerkezBodrum Castle-Edge Evening
The town's classical evening, a marina aperitif, a meyhane table near the castle walls, a speakeasy upstairs, and a last drink where the live music spills onto Cumhuriyet Caddesi
OrtakentOrtakent Producer Trail
An inland morning into Bodrum's working hinterland, Saturday's producer market, a lokum atelier, a wine bar in a former olive press, ending at Dibeklihan's stone courtyard
