Ortakent Village and Yahsi Beach
In the center of Bodrum Peninsula, along the main highway there is this considerably large village of Ortakent which is famous for the attractive 17th century 'tower houses' unique to the area. These tower houses were built by locals for defensive purposes especially to protect themselves from the dangers coming from the sea. The oldest house is the Mustafa Pasa tower house built in 1601.The house, which is built over the rocks, has three floors. The house did not have any windows and doors at the lower floors was approached by a draw bridge. The main living quarters which were situated over the ground floor are the most richly decorated parts of the house.
