Located on Turkey’s Aegean coast, Bodrum is a true Mediterranean paradise — known for its turquoise bays, vibrant nightlife, whitewashed houses, and rich history. Once ancient Halicarnassus, today’s Bodrum attracts travelers seeking both relaxation and cultural immersion.

Top Things to Do in Bodrum:

• Explore Bodrum Castle and the Underwater Archaeology Museum, located on the seafront and offering panoramic views of the marina.
• Walk through Bodrum Old Town with its white-washed houses, artisan shops, and hidden courtyards.
• Swim in crystal-clear waters at famous beaches like Bitez, Ortakent, Camel Beach, and Yahşi.
• Join a daily boat tour to Orak Island, Aquarium Bay or Küçük Kiremit Adası — great for snorkeling and sunbathing.
• Visit the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
• Dine by the sea in Gümüşlük and enjoy freshly grilled seafood with a glass of rakı at sunset.
• Experience Bodrum nightlife at Marina Yacht Club or on Bar Street — perfect for music lovers and partygoers.

• Travel Tips:

Visit between April and October for sunny weather and warm seas. Summers can be hot, so wear breathable fabrics and stay hydrated. Bodrum’s public transport is limited outside the town center — taxis and private transfers are more practical. Also, many beach clubs and restaurants may require early reservations in peak season.
