Holidays to Bodrum

Beautiful beaches, buzzing bars and bargain-filled bazaars, a Bodrum holiday is as sweet as sugar-dusted Turkish delight.

Balmy beaches

If you like long blonde sands and turquoise waters, you’ll love the bodacious beaches in Bodrum. With a shoreline for every whim – think banana boats and beach bars, romantic coves with perfect sunsets and hip beach clubs serving cocktails and tunes at noon – Bodrum is always beach day ready.

Neverending nightlife

Boom boom boom, now let me hear you say way-ooh! Bodrum’s nightlife goes from chill beach bars to nightclubs that stay open until sunrise. Whether you want to sip Champagne cocktails in the Marina Yacht Club bar or dance till dawn in the clubs on Bar Street, your Bodrum holiday can be as party or as peaceful as you like.

Ancient wonders

Castles and crypts, mausoleums and amphitheatres, a Bodrum holiday is great for a spot of amateur archaeology. Wander around the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. See the remains of what was once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the tomb of King Mausolus of the Achaemenid Empire, which dates back to 350 BC and reminds you you’re younger than you maybe feel sometimes!

Bargain bazaars

When it comes to retail therapy, Bodrum is at the top of its game. Flex those haggling muscles at one of Bodrum’s many bazaars. From spices to handwoven rugs, leather handbags to saucy fridge magnets, you can pick up all sorts of goodies on your Bodrum holiday – that’s your Christmas shopping sorted.

Food for friends

Whether you’re looking for the world’s greatest kebab at 3am or simply some marvellous meze in a local meyhane, Bodrum kicks rumbling tums to the kerb. Renowned for its fresh seafood, the Bodrum Old Quarter has a waterfront packed with restaurants serving catch of the day. As for snacks, copy the locals and grab a simit – a cross between a bagel and a pretzel – and hit the beach.
