Chilled

Musto
You'll need to get here early to get a spot on the terrace as it's a popular hangout with both locals and tourists. Sit down and watch the world go by over a glass of rakı, Turkey's aniseed-flavoured national drink, nicknamed "Lion's Milk" because the spirit turns a milky colour when water is added.

Le Roka
Located in the centre of the strip of bars that line the beach, Le Roka, with an elevated terrace that catches the sea breeze, is a great spot to watch the sun set over Bodrum castle.

Clubbing

Evgenia Meyhane
Evgenia's place is Bodrum's original meyhane, a traditional Turkish restaurant-cum-bar with live music. It created a trend and numerous similar establishments have opened nearby, creating a whole street of meyhanes where the party goes on until late.
