Bodrum Turkey
The Turkish coast everyone's talking about...
Jutting into the Aegean Sea the Bodrum peninsula, opposite the Greek island of Kos, is a landscape of hills, mesas, craggy coves and windswept beaches. Just a short flight from Istanbul, this cosmopolitan resort with its bustling marinas and smartly dressed clientele offers a host of activities and a lively nightlife. Home to the Mausoleum, one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World, the Bodrum peninsula is steeped in history for those seeking a more cultural experience. While beaches may be narrow and not usually sandy there are elaborate wood-plank beach clubs with plush white mattresses, fluttering white canopy beds, gauzy Arabesque tents and amply stocked bars.
The peninsula is adorned with small white 'sugar cube` villages which allow for majestic views of the Aegean. The appeal of the resort of Bodrum lies in it successfully combining culture, history, sophistication, vibrancy and a laid back charm. The vast array of entertainment options ensures the resort is a favourite for all ages, and with the summer season extending well into October, the resort is a great destination for an early autumn break.
This is a cosmopolitan resort full of waterfront cafes, exclusive shops, and lovely restaurants overlooking the harbour. Famous for its nightlife, Bodrum attracts the young and beautiful from all over Turkey. The coast round Bodrum Peninsula is dotted with little bays and villages. You can take a boat trip from many of the local beaches or harbours.
With names like “Smugglers” and “Bubble Cave” the dive sites of Bodrum have long attracted experienced divers who seek to explore the caverns and funnels. The island has excellent diving schools which cater for the experienced divers and the beginners. And for those who prefer to stay on top of the water, what better way to explore the blue Aegean than aboard a gleaming wooden yacht or “gulet”?
