Holidays to Bodrum and information about the Bodrum Peninsula

“I have travelled the whole world but found nothing in heaven or earth as beautiful as the Aegean”

Heredotus, 5th century B.C.

The Bodrum Peninsula is a region of immense variety, combining ancient and modern with simplicity and sophistication. The area still has miles of unspoilt coastline, carved by dozens of coves and inlets dotted with small resort towns. A few miles inland you can still discover small pockets of the rural community where a more traditional way of life continues untouched by tourism. We're sure you will find much to make your holiday to Bodrum a memorable one.

Each town along the peninsula has it's own distinct personality. Whilst Bodrum town itself is highly sociable, full of character and with a wealth of amenities, dining and shopping possibilities, scenic Gumusluk set in a pretty little bay is free-spirited and laid back, whilst the traffic-free hamlet of Karakaya enjoys superb views from it's rustic hillside setting. The beauty of a holiday on the peninsula is that there is a wide choice of towns, resorts, villages and rural retreats to explore all within a short drive or easy reach by local dolmus transport services. During the summer months, daily ferries operate from Bodrum to the Datca peninsula as well as to the nearby Greek island of Kos.

Around the Bodrum peninsula, you can swim in clear, tide-less warm seas, many with shallow waters making it ideal for families. The calm waters and good visibility also provide ideal conditions for diving and snorkelling. There are any number of watersport centres on the peninsula that arrange diving excursions and provide lessons for beginners eager to try out this underwater sport.

Another area of exporation for your Bodrum holiday could be the glorious stretches of coastline - and what better way to relax than on a sumptuous yacht? The boatyards of Bodrum have been famous since ancient times and today the craftsmen still make the traditional yachts: the well known Bodrum Gulet. Bodrum is one of the starting points for the popular Blue Cruise, a week spent cruising along the stunning coast of the Gulf of Gökova Gulf or down to Marmaris.

Evenings out on the peninsula can be enjoyed dining on traditional Turkish meze in a cosy lokanta in one of the smaller resorts, taking advantage of the late night shopping, or heading for Bodrum's lively centre.
