Bodrum itself is an incredibly vibrant city that combines ancient sites and winding streets with lively markets, including the farmers markets, and boutique shops. Whether youre after an original souvenir, trying the local produce or one of the signature hand-made rugs, youre sure to find it here! Dont miss the exquisite marina bursting with restaurants and bars and be sure to have a saunter around the citys ancient tombs, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The ruins in Halicarnassus, Bodrum Amphitheatre and Bodrum Castle are all simply unmissable while youre in the area, with epic views and an even more impressive architecture and history. This hilltop location is excellent for active days out, be it hiking or biking on the mountain bikes provided. Whats more – watersports fans will delight in a stay in this area, as there are countless Blue Flag beaches along the picturesque coastline nearby. You can charter a boat in many of the nearby marinas, or else try your hand at jet-skiing, sea kayaking, scuba diving or parasailing, or simply stick to the trusty snorkelling! The sublime Mediterranean climate, reaching 40°C every summer, with a water temperature of around 28°C in the Mediterranean Sea, really is perfect for a traditional day at the beach! The rich history of Turkey makes for an excellent holiday – castles and forts from the indigenous populations and later the Romans are in various states of ruin, while magnificent citadels await you in the outskirts of the cities, across the valleys and on the striking hilltops! The local cuisine is a fascinating mixture of typical Turkish fast food doner, elaborate mezze, quaint fish restaurants and even the Middle Eastern-inspired vegetarian and vegan treats from over the border! This is a nation passionate about their food, and with a service to match, heading out for any meal is sure to be a highlight of your trip – even breakfast, which is one of their favourites! And drinking is equally popular here, whether its a locally made loose leaf tea or a little tipple in the form or Efes, Turkeys most popular beer, or Raki, the traditional accompaniment to a seafood meal. With Bodrum Airport only 25 km away, you can land, travel from the airport and get settled in within less than an hour, wasting no time on your extra special holiday!
