Bardakçı Koyu

Bardakçı Koyu, also known as Eskiçeşme Mahallesi, is a small public beach that is conveniently situated near the heart of Bodrum, Turkey. This beach is known for its warm waters, which are not very deep, and its sandy shores, making it a safe and enjoyable location for families with children.

The beach is primarily associated with local hotels and businesses, which operate beach areas that are accessible to non-guests for a fee. This fee includes the provision of all-inclusive drinks. Despite the fact that these beach areas are technically private, the public is generally welcomed, and the atmosphere remains relaxed and comfortable.

Although Bardakçı Koyu is close to both Bodrum city and its marina, it tends not to be overly crowded. This is true even outside of the peak season, possibly due to the entrance fee. However, this relatively low level of crowding contributes to a sense of calm and tranquility, enhancing the overall visitor experience.

Some visitors have suggested that the beach could be cleaned more regularly by municipal services. Despite this, Bardakçı Koyu is still recognized for its clean, clear waters, which are one of the key attractions for visitors.
