We have just returned from bitez and thought I would post some information on Basri Apartments as I could not find any before we left.
The apartments are good. basic but everything you need is there, including a kettle, which is the only cooking facility we used. The apartments were cleaned daily. towels were change every 2 days. The beds were comfortable with mosquito screens on bedroom window.
Nuri the owner(manager) is a great host. As in most places in Turkey the people are very friendly and helpfull.Enjoyed the Tutkish night the belly dancing was great fun.
The food at Basri is good and cheaper than some places we ate.I would reccomend the Chicken Fajitas.Not sure why mexican food is so popular in this area of Turkey, a lot of the restaurants had mexican food on their menus. The beer at Basri was also cheaper than most places. 3 lira for a large Efes thats £1.20 pretty good value. If you have not tried the Esfes dark beer give it a try it's a bit stronger I think 6.4% but very good.
Enjoyed Bitez It is a small quiet resort but close to both Bodrum and Gumbet if you wanted nightlife which we didn't. We did a day trip to Ephesus which was a long day but so worth it if history is your thing. The castle at Bodrum is also worth seeing. The shopping in Bodrum is quite good too.
We had a great time in Bitez and would not hesitate to reccomend the Basri Apartments. They have their own website you will find it if you google basri Apartments Bitez. Nuri also has an airport pick up service which if I was returning would use.
We used Resort Hoppa which was pretty dreadfull and would not use again. You have to hang around the airport on arrival for every one else then it is just as bad, if not worse than a tour company coach as you stop at various resorts to drop of people. Our transfer took 2 hours to cover around 30 kilometres.The driver had no local knowledge and need to stop and ask directions to everty hotel. it was the same on return journey.
