The old village of Bitez is set back from the beach and populated almost entirely by local residents. The increase in tourism over the last few years has seen an expansion of the village along the sea front. The few original old stone houses have been converted into restaurants and bars and the spaces in between are now new hotels, apartments and shops.

Despite the expansion, Bitez has been able to retain its village atmosphere, providing a quieter place for a more casual evening out than the glitz of nearby Gumbet and Bodrum.

Bitez is the best place on the Bodrum Peninsula for windsurfing, providing conditions for beginners and experiences surfers. Bitez is gaining a reputation worldwide as the place for surfers visiting Turkey.

The sandy beach is safe for children, and the beach sun loungers provided by the various cafes and bars are all free.
