Places to eat in Bodrum Center

Bodrum impresses not only with its sea and sun, but also with its flavors. The center, which is considered the heart of Bodrum, has plenty of options for those who want to discover traditional Aegean cuisine and unique flavors enriched with modern touches. If you want to eat something good in the center of Bodrum, but where should I start?

1. The fish restaurants lining the Bodrum coast attract attention with their daily fresh fish and carefully prepared appetizers. Sea bass marinade, stuffed zucchini blossoms and olive oil made from Aegean herbs are the stars of the table here. A table set by the sea against the sunset makes for a simple but unforgettable dinner.
2. Tucked away in the side streets of Bodrum, you'll find old-fashioned restaurants that offer a true “home-cooked” feel. A simple plate of delicious baked beans with rice and pickles is like a cure for those who have been at sea all day.
3. Although Bodrum is known for its seafood, it is also possible to have a nice kebab table in the center of Bodrum. You can spend an intimate evening at the ocakbaşı restaurants that do justice to the meat, accompanied by roasted meats and salads with plenty of greens.
4. If you want to have a light meal by the sea or just enjoy the view with a cool drink, the cafes along the coast are just for you. You can take a simple but pleasant break with cold lemonade, toast or ice cream.
5. In the center of Bodrum, there are both dessert shops offering classic desserts such as baklava and patisseries that stand out with modern desserts. It is also a pleasure to end the day with semolina halva with ice cream or fig dessert on a hot summer evening.
