Lovely summer houses line the small streets, their flower-filled gardens awash with colour. There's a small selection of shops, traditional in style, and handmade items, fresh food and souvenirs can be purchased at the local markets. Along the seafront you will find some restaurants and bars, a diverse collection, some little more than a palm-thatched dining terrace, and others more sophisticated with live music.
Torba holidays appeal to those who relish a peaceful ambience and it is the ideal place for a quiet, laid-back beach holiday. In the real height of summer, the atmosphere becomes livelier and is very Mediterranean in feel.
Wooded slopes and olive groves lead down to the small sand and pebble beach, and the clear waters of the Aegean. At the bay you will find a range of popular water sports on offer, the waters here are very calm though with almost no movement on the sea.
Minibuses will take you to nearby Bodrum if you want to spend time exploring Torba's busier and better known neighbour. Or if you fancy a trip on the water, a ferry service runs from Torba to Didyma and here you will find the Temple of Apollo with its ornate carved columns. The ferry is also a convenient means by which to visit the ancient city of Priene and historic Miletus.
Torba hotels tend to be of good quality and our favourite is the Zeytinada Hotel, a veritable oasis of calm and tranquillity and the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Holidays in Torba really provide the best of both worlds, a peaceful base where you can enjoy an unhurried way of life, but livelier Bodrum is also within easy reach.
Here at Anatolian Sky we prefer to offer authentic Turkish holidays to our customers in hotels that meet our own high standards and we will ensure your holiday meets your expectations and more.
