Yağhane Bodrum
Ortakent
A restored nineteenth-century olive-oil mill in Ortakent, run as a wine and coffee house with a working press
A restored stone-house art village on the Yakaköy ridge — galleries, ateliers, an Ottoman ethnographic room and a film bar
Cenap Tezer and his wife bought forty dönüm of Yakaköy in the nineties and rebuilt the abandoned village as Türkiye's first dedicated kültür ve sanat köyü. Nearly fifty exhibitions a season pass through the open and closed gallery spaces, ateliers run pottery, ceramics and miniature courses, the Ottoman ethnographic room is a permanent fixture, and the film bar shows classics on summer nights. Pera Thai of Bua Khao and Dibek Sofrası anchor the food side. The peninsula's most considered cultural address.
Time a Friday-night visit around an opening — the four gallery rotations turn over every three weeks and the concert bill is the most serious on the peninsula. Stay through dinner at Pera Thai or Dibek Sofrası rather than driving back to the marina.
