Bodrum Holidays
Considered by many to be the St Tropez of Turkey, Bodrum holidays are a firm favourite with travellers and the odd celebrity, with the beach resort located just 700km from Istanbul. The views of the harbour are breath-taking and the Cruise Ship terminal, strategically located close to the town centre, has liners docking during all the seasons. This vibrant and sun-kissed resort, with a population of under 40,000, is the place to be if you’re looking for a summer holiday with lively nightlife and stunning beaches.
With some fantastic surrounding resorts, including Gumbet and Altinkum, holidays in Bodrum offer a mix of superb hotels, beautiful architecture, modern vibes and soft sands, all surrounded by lush hills and olive groves. Though the best time to visit Bodrum is from July to September, it remains a popular destination all the year round.
If you're travelling with kids, the resort has a large waterpark and there is a huge variety of watersports on offer at almost every beach, alongside family-friendly restaurants where you can relish delicious Turkish cuisine. Bodrum is also a popular resort with families due to its sunny climate, golden sands and safe beaches for swimming. The kids can make a splash with fun-loving banana boat rides while parents indulge in a little R&R on the sands, or why not treat yourselves to a traditional Turkish bath while you're here? Bodrum is the perfect late getaway and we've got some great holiday deals to be bagged as well, so book your next beach break today.
Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Much like the rest of Turkey, the best way to get around Bodrum is by dolmus bus - it’s cheap, efficient and very frequent. These are shared minibus taxis that follow fixed routes. They can get very overcrowded so private hire taxis and minibuses are also a good option for longer trips and transfers. Hiring a car is easy, and getting around the resorts on foot is usually a great bet.
You can hire a car from the airport or once you’re in resort. Roads can be challenging in the city, so you may wish to avoid driving in the centre, but the surrounding resorts are easier. Drive on the right-hand side
