Bodrum in Türkiye

Bodrum, formerly known as Halicarnassus, is a glamorous seaside paradise on the Turkish Riviera. Situated on the Turquoise Coast, where the Aegean and Mediterranean meet, the city’s Yalikavak Marina is where superyachts are berthed. The old town is divided into two halves by its castle and the pedestrian-friendly bazaar area. On a walk through its narrow streets, enjoy scenic water views. Visit the town’s traditional markets that sell a variety of spices, olives, artisanal cheese, honey and handmade soaps. Bodrum’s culinary scene features cafés and fine-dining restaurants that offer Aegean specialties prepared with fresh local produce.

Explore the villages surrounding Bodrum with its ruined churches, windmills, stone houses and whitewashed cube-buildings, to get a sense of its Hellenic feel. Another popular activity is to sail aboard a schooner along the coast, drop anchor at hidden coves and swim in lagoons.
