Located in a sheltered bay on the northern coast of the Bodrum Peninsula, Torba is a favourite resort with the locals, who love swimming in the clear waters and lunching at the restaurants dotted along the shore. The landscape here is not so barren as the south of the peninsula, with green hills rolling down to isolated sand and pebble beaches, and you don't have to explore too far before coming across small villages (some deserted, some just very sleepy), monasteries and ancient monuments, like the 2500 year old Lelegian tombs nearby.
