Welcome to Bodrum
Bodrum is Turkeys Turquoise Coast at its most vibrant. This is a holiday destination du jour, with a marina full of bobbing yachts ready to whisk you out onto the Mediterranean, a handful of ancient attractions for sightseeing, and a town filled with photogenic, old whitewashed houses. Once the ancient city of Halicarnassus, by the late Ottoman era, Bodrum had turned into a simple fishing village, but all that changed in the 1940s when tourism entered the fold. Now during summer, this town buzzes with energy as tourists come from all over the world to soak up Bodrum’s charm. If you happen to visit out of season though, you can still catch a hint of the old village atmosphere.
