Ortakent is a brilliant resort that boasts over 300 days of sunshine. If you are looking for a hot and sunny resort than visit Ortakent any time between May and October. You will get over 12 hours of sunshine a day with temperatures in August reaching over 35°C. There is a coastal breeze to keep humidity down and maintain the temperatures; however it still gets very hot. The water temperature reaches over 25°C making swimming very comfortable.
Ideal for a relaxing or active holiday, Yahsi, Ortakent offers it all. Water-based activities include Windsurfing, water-skiing, Jet-Skiing, Scuba diving, Snorkelling, Surfing and Parasailing. Boat trips and sailing is also available. Or sit in or around romantic bars and restaurants all day and night. (My favourite!).
Yahsi has a charming selection of quaint shops to browse where you can buy souvenirs and any essentials you need. World famous Turkish carpets are among the best buys to take home and come in beautiful colours and designs, and other good buys include jewellery of amber and semi-precious stones, antique copperware, leather goods, decorative hookah's and wonderfully fragrant spices. Head to one of the larger towns and have fun haggling at colourful labyrinthine bazaars, vibrant street markets and exotic flea markets where you may also make a friend or two along the way. If you favour department stores and shopping chains, these can be found in the centre of Bodrum. If you prefer to go out for dinner then why not try one of the restaurants by the harbour that have some brilliant seafood and Turkish cuisine available.
