Bitez lies 7 km west of Bodrum, in the bay next to Gumbet. The winds here are particularly favorable for windsurfing and several water sports operators are based here.The beach is sandy, with plenty of sunloungers and umbrellas for sunbathing.
Away from the beach it is possible to wander through mandarin orange groves where oxen plough and life continues as before.The village itself is a 15 minute walk, or short drive, inland and remains totally unspoiled by tourism.The only Turkish Delight (Lokum) to be made on the peninsula is made here. aDolmuses leave for Bitez every 20-30 minutes from the main bus station in Bodrum.
