The Bodrum Peninsula extends west into the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. It is not only home to the resort of Bodrum, Turkey’s most popular holiday destination but also around a dozen other resort towns and villages that are scattered along its shores. Each of these resorts has its own variety of beach- life, hotels, holiday accommodation, tourist facilities and infrastructure. All these holiday resorts each provide visitors with their own memorable and unique flavour of Turkish holidays. Bodrum airport services this region of Turkey and is around 36 kilometers away, a journey of approximately 40 minutes from the resort of Bodrum depending on traffic.

Bodrum

The town and resort of Bodrum is Turkey's original south Aegean seaside resort, it has a rich history with its crusader castle and ancient mausoleum as well as a wide range of holiday facilities. The nightlife here is legendary, the resort is home to the world's biggest open-air nightclub, Halikarnas, where you can dance until dawn and maybe even rub shoulders with an A –list celebrity or two. Jade Jagger has recently opened a restaurant here and Roman Abramovitch’s huge Yacht the Eclipse is often seen moored in the harbour. The waterfront in Bodrum itself has a large marina, for beach life the nearby beach at Gumbet is very popular but if you prefer something a little more tranquil a short taxi hop to the beach at Bitez will definitely be worthwhile!
