Nestled in the laid-back village of Bitez, just 8km from the buzz of Bodrum, Villa Gonca enjoys a peaceful setting among the area’s famed tangerine orchards. Bitez offers a slower pace of life, with tree-lined streets, charming cafés, and a crescent-shaped beach perfect for families. The bay is particularly popular with windsurfers and sailors thanks to its gentle breeze and clear waters, and equipment rentals are readily available along the shoreline.
Wander into the village centre, and you’ll find a selection of local shops, bakeries, and traditional restaurants serving fresh Aegean cuisine. There’s also a regular market where you can pick up seasonal produce and handcrafted goods. Rich in history, the area was once known as Pedasa, with remnants of its ancient past scattered across the surrounding hills. With its mix of natural beauty, coastal charm, and easy access to Bodrum’s cultural and nightlife offerings, Bitez makes an ideal base for a relaxing yet engaging escape.
