Bodrum the one of the premier holiday resorts in Turkey and is an increasingly popular area for second homes.

Bodrum offers a mix of east and west and retains the sophistication of one of the top destinations in Turkey. In spite of Bodrum’s popularity, many parts of the Bodrum peninsula are almost untouched by tourism. Taking a short drive inland are villages, which remain unaffected by the holiday industry.

Bodrum is set on a hillside that rises above two bays, separated by the imposing 15th century castle of St Peter. It is picturesque town with pretty whitewashed houses many with bougainvillea cascading down the walls.

There are some smart restaurants opposite the Bodrum harbour and cheaper alternatives including McDonalds can be found within the centre of town. Bodrum is relaxed and informal, with lively bars, cafes and busy shops. In the evening, shops stay open late, restaurants serve into the small hours and there are plenty of bars with music and dancing. Bodrum is located 30 miles south of Bodrum airport.
