The Bodrum peninsula in Muğla Province, south-west Turkey, faces the Aegean. It is a string of bays and former villages, and property for sale in Bodrum is spread across all of them. Listings run from the town and neighbouring Konacik to the bays of Torba, Golturkbuku and Gumusluk. The catalogue holds 520 properties from 110,810 USD, including flats, houses and villas.
One municipality for the whole peninsula
Bodrum is both a town and a district, and its municipality covers the entire peninsula. Law No. 6360 of 2012 made Muğla a metropolitan province, and since 2014 former towns such as Turgutreis, Gumusluk, Bitez, Konacik and Yalikavak have been neighbourhoods of the district. So when you look at property for sale in Bodrum, an address that names only a village, such as Turgutreis or Gumusluk, still lies in the Bodrum district.
Which Bodrum neighbourhood suits which buyer
- Next to the town: Konacik has almost merged with it, Bitez is a beach resort a short way west, and Torba is a bay just north-east of the centre. They suit buyers who want the shops and services the town offers.
- A town of its own: Turgutreis is one of the largest settlements on the peninsula, with a population that stays all year, which suits year-round living. Akyarlar also has listings.
- An archaeological harbour: Gumusluk is a fishing village built over the ancient city of Myndos. Parts of it are a registered archaeological site where building is restricted. The level of protection was disputed in 2022, so ask your lawyer to check a plot’s conservation status.
- Summer homes on the north coast: Golturkbuku joins the villages of Golkoy and Turkbuku around a sheltered harbour lined with luxury hotels and holiday villas. Gundogan is the next bay, between Golturkbuku and Yalikavak, which has its own page.
Detached houses, including those with a private pool or garden, are listed under villas, flats under apartments and new projects under new builds.
Buying as a foreigner
The national rules, from the tapu in the buyer’s own name and the title deed fee to citizenship and holiday-let permits, are explained on buying property in Turkey. We checked these rules against the laws on mevzuat.gov.tr on 28 October 2026.
One check matters on this coast. Foreigners cannot acquire real estate inside a military forbidden zone or in areas closed to them near one (Law No. 2565, Articles 9 and 28). Some plots on the peninsula carry such an annotation on the title deed, as did state land in Ortakent offered for privatisation in July 2022. Before paying a deposit, ask your lawyer to read the annotations on the deed.
How we check the data
Methodology
Two kinds of property listing appear here. Some come from a developer whose feed we synchronise every night; the others are adverts gathered from international real estate portals and agency websites. Cards show US dollars by default, recalculated once a day from the seller’s currency at a reference exchange rate, while the page of each advert keeps the seller’s currency. Many asking prices have stayed the same for months, so treat them as a starting point. When an advert is taken down, its page tells visitors that the listing has been removed.

Limitations
Read this page as a general guide rather than legal or tax advice. Before any payment, get the seller or agent to confirm the asking price and that the home is still available. The title and the contract terms are for a lawyer in Turkey to confirm.
