Bodrum

Bodrum welcomes you with whitewashed houses, bougainvillea climbing over windows, and a bay dotted with yachts. St. Peter’s Castle dominates the harbor and houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, while in the evening, promenades come alive with music, sea breeze, and restaurants serving fresh fish. Nearby, windmills overlook shores that alternate between small beaches and elegant piers.
Across the Bodrum Peninsula, each corner has its own rhythm: Gümüşlük charms with tables set above the water and golden sunsets over Rabbit Island; Yalıkavak impresses with its modern marina and chic boutiques; Türkbükü is home to discreet beach clubs, while Bitez is calm and green, perfect for windsurfing or a lazy day by the sea. During the day, you can sail on a gulet through turquoise bays, swim in crystal waters, and anchor for lunch; in the evening, return to taverns with meze, olive oil dishes, mussels, calamari, and light Aegean wines. Bodrum means relaxed elegance: clear sea, harbor history, and nightlife that begins only when the city lights up.
