Bandirma Travel Guide
The meeting point of history, nature, and the sea. As Detaport Hotel, we have prepared a special route for you to discover Bandirma.
Kyzikos Ancient City
If you want to go on a historical journey during your Bandirma hotel stay, your first stop should definitely be the Kyzikos Ancient City. Located on the Erdek-Bandirma highway, this ancient treasure is known as one of the most magnificent metropolises of the Roman period. Especially the Temple of Hadrian has made a great impact in the world of archeology as one of the largest temples of the ancient world.
Excavations in the region prove that Kyzikos was not only a religious center but also a strategic commercial port. While walking among the column capitals, giant marble blocks, and theater ruins, you will breathe the atmosphere of thousands of years ago. Our recommendation for Detaport Hotel guests is to definitely take your camera with you when visiting this area; because the play of light on the ancient stones at sunset is magical.

Manyas Bird Paradise
The greatest gift Bandirma offers for nature lovers is undoubtedly the Manyas Bird Paradise National Park. This natural wonder, located only 15-20 minutes by car from Detaport Hotel, hosts thousands of migratory birds every year. The park, which is the breeding ground especially for dalmatian pelicans, cormorants, and spoonbills, was awarded an 'A Class Diploma' by the Council of Europe.
From the observation tower in the national park, you can watch the natural life of birds with binoculars without disturbing them. The water level and vegetation, which change according to the season, offer you a different view every time you visit. When planning your Bandirma hotel stay, we strongly recommend you to visit especially in the spring months (April-May); witnessing the awakening of nature is a priceless experience.
Kapidag Peninsula and Virgin Bays
A paradise where green and blue dance in the middle of the Marmara Sea. Ocaklar, Narli, and Turan villages...
Ocaklar
One of the closest and most popular holiday resorts to Bandirma. Ideal for those who want to cool off in the summer months with its fine sandy beach and clean sea. You can eat fresh fish in the restaurants along the coast.
Narli
A more calm, peaceful village surrounded by olive trees. Located in the west of Kapidag, Narli is one of the points where the sunset is best watched. A secret escape point for Detaport Hotel guests to get away from the crowd.
Turan Village
A virgin bay in the north of the peninsula, where the forest meets the sea. It almost resembles the Aegean bays with its turquoise sea. It also offers great routes for nature walking and camping lovers.
Bandirma City Guide
Bandirma is a city that lives not only with its surroundings but also with its city center. When you step out of Detaport Hotel, you will feel the energy of the city immediately. Walks along the coastline take you to the famous Love Bridge. This is the most favorite socializing and photo-taking point for both locals and visitors.
If you are interested in history, Bandirma Archeology Museum must be on your list. Priceless artifacts unearthed from the Kyzikos and Daskyleion excavations are exhibited here. In the evening, you can sit in the cafes around Republic Square, sip your tea against the bay and experience the modern face of Bandirma. The ease of city transportation makes access to these points from our hotel extremely practical.
