Turkey - Bodrum Holidays

Holidays to Bodrum

Situated on the west coast of Turkey in the south of the Aegean Sea, the resort of Bodrum is one of the most beautiful and popular resorts in Turkey. Described by the great apostle Homer as ‘The Land of Eternal Blue’; Bodrum is set on a sloping hillside that winds its way down to the myriad blues of the Aegean. Bodrum is a particularly scenic holiday destination, being centred around the colourful port that is overlooked by the bougainvillea dappled hillside in the background. With so much stunning scenery to enjoy and a wealth of holiday attractions, Bodrum is an ideal choice for your next summer sun getaway.

Holidays to Bodrum focus upon the pretty harbour that is still active today with the bustle of holiday excursions. Boats line up along the quayside waiting to take tourists to the nearby islands and beaches that adorn the scenic coastline. The hive of activity is accentuated by the vibrant cafes, restaurants and bars that edge the port and a great holiday activity is to sit by the waterfront enjoying a drink as you watch the world go by. Although there is no beach at Bodrum there are many boat trips to nearby beaches and regular mini buses to all the popular beaches so you need not miss out on topping up your holiday tan.

Bodrum Culture and Sightseeing

Holidays to Bodrum open up marvellous opportunities to explore the culture and history of the region. There are many historical sights, ruins and monuments to be seen during holidays in Bodrum that narrate the tales of Turkey’s turbulent past. Bodrum is the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the World; the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, and although only ruins remain, it is still a popular tourist attraction on Bodrum holidays today. Out at sea between the town’s two harbours, is the Castle of St Peter which is a striking monument to the colonies that settled here in Bodrum and is visible from all areas of the town. With the Bodrum Amphitheatre and the nearby attraction of the calcified waterfalls at Pamukkale there is plenty to whet your cultural appetite during your holidays.

Things to See and Do

Make the most of the bustling harbour and excellent location on your holidays to Bodrum and set sail on one of the many pleasure cruises and boat trips that traverse the Aegean. A ‘Blue Cruise’ sees you upon a beautiful Turkish boat or ‘gulet’ hugging the Turkish coastline or calling to a neighbouring Greek island and is a must during your holidays. You may also wish to take advantage of the minibuses that run between the rustic villages of the Bodrum peninsula.
