The Gemiba @ i Restaurant is one
of Bodrum's gems. Its team of
chefs excels in creating Turkish
dishes that are delicious, and if
you want to sample some truly
authentic local cuisine then this
is the place to head for. On the
menu you will find dishes such
as levrek pilakisi, which is a type
of casserole made from fish with
lots of potatoes, onion and gar-
lic. It is super. There are kebabs
too, such as traditional dönar
kebabs of sliced meat, and @ i @
kebabs, a skewer of cubed meat,
which, although your children
will probably be familiar with,
these taste much better than
anything they are likely to have

authentic. The Gemiba @ i
Restaurant has special dishes for
children and a good choice of
desserts. They are usually sticky
and sweet, such as the pastry
baklava. Of course, the really
good thing about this restaurant

One of the first things you notice
about the Mona Titti Restaurant,
or a restoran as it is known in
Turkey, is its elegant décor and
crisp white linen tablecloths - a
sure sign that you will be in for a
special evening. Its menu is
largely à la carte Turkish, with
fresh ingredients sourced locally,
especially fish, although there is a
good choice of more European
style dishes too. It doesn't offer a
children's menu as such, but its
team is happy to prepare versions
of the main meals for smaller
appetites. The restaurant, which
is located in the slightly quieter
Içmeler area of Marmaris, away
from the often loud nightlife of
the main tourist area, is fre-
quented by both locals and
visitors - always a good sign. It
serves a good choice of wines and
beverages too.
Open 12pm-11pm daily. Prices 3
