• 8.Yalıkavak Palmarina — The peninsula's glossiest harbour — a marina of gleaming superyachts backed by designer boutiques, waterfront restaurants and cocktail bars, drawing a moneyed international crowd. Even if you're not berthing a yacht, it's a fun evening stroll and a drink among the glamour; the smart north's showpiece.
• 10.Türkbükü beach clubs — Turkey's answer to St Tropez — the north-coast resort of Türkbükü, where wooden jetties instead of beaches host chic beach clubs, day-beds and a celebrity-spotting crowd that lunches long and parties late. Pricey and posey, but a quintessential glamorous-Bodrum day; book a jetty bed ahead in season.
• 12.Aegean meze & raki — The Aegean does Turkey's best mezes — a spread of small cold and hot plates (stuffed vine leaves, whipped aubergine, sea greens, grilled octopus) eaten slowly over glasses of aniseed rakı and, on the coast, fresh fish. Find a proper 'meyhane' or a waterside fish restaurant; long, sociable and delicious.
