Lapped by the Aegean Sea, Bodrum's culinary scene is a tapestry woven with traditional fisherman's fare and a blend of Eastern and Western influences. The city, flourishing on a peninsula rich with diverse flora, adds a dash of wild herbs and traditional spices to its cuisine, gifting it an unmistakable flavour.
Neyzen Tevfik Street, a charming artery encircling the port, is bursting with restaurants and bars offering a taste of the city. Serving mainly traditional Turkish fare, they offer a mouth-watering insight into the city's culinary favourites, typically featuring perfectly spiced mains of meat or fish, complemented by a side of bread — a staple at any Turkish table.
