Bitez Plaji
Bitez, 48470 Bodrum/Muğla
Long sandy cove where a smuggler's fatal wrong turn gave rise to a folk song danced at weddings across the peninsula.
The guide to Bitez Plajı follows Halil, a young tobacco smuggler running contraband across the strait to Kos, and Gulsum, the woman he loved who was also wanted by the region's Circassian governor. On a dark night, aiming for a cove further down the peninsula, their boat missed its mark. Look across the strait toward Kos as you listen, still visible on a clear day, now crossed by sailboards instead of smuggling skiffs.
