This is one of the most popular and most luxurious resorts in Türkiye, famous for its nightlife and one of the largest marinas on the Aegean Sea and the port, from where ferries leave daily to the Greek Islands: Kos or Rhodes. Bodrum is not like any other holiday resort in Türkiye – thanks to its landscape and the extraordinary nature of this place, nowhere more so than here do Turkish and Greek influences penetrate each other.
Only in this part of Türkiye can you see hills with white houses, olive groves, older men traveling on donkeys, mountain villages, similar to Greek ones. Even the minarets towering over the mosques seem more friendly. Bodrum is a combination of Greek freedom with Turkish hospitality, which has also affected the regional cuisine. This city, with a population of 32 thousand, also has a colourful history, which you can trace with every step you take. In the antiquity, Bodrum was called Halicarnassus and this is where the Mausoleum was located, one of the seven wonders of the world. Here Herodotus was born - the "father of history", who wrote the first history of the world. In the city centre there is the enormous St Peter's Castle, a stronghold built by the Knights (Crusaders) in the 15th century. Bodrum is also a city of entertainment and fun. In the centre there are plenty of bars, pubs and discos, where you can dance and have fun until dawn. Everyone will find something for themselves. There are jazz clubs with artists performing live, there are pubs playing only music from the 1980s, there are modern discos with laser shows, e.g. the famous Halikarnas, there are clubs where only Turkish music is played live, there is also a disco on a catamaran, which every night out sets out on a cruise around the bay and while dancing under the open sky, you can admire the beautifully illuminated city. Transfer from the port to a catamaran takes place on motorboats, which is an added attraction. Bodrum is for everyone. Good quality hotels are situated in quiet places, in well-maintained gardens will surely foster family relaxation. For those who like to explore, there are many sights to be discovered, and in addition, wonderful trips, like Ephesus, Pamukkale and a cruise to Kos. Many fantastic places in the city centre await those who like to party.

Prices: Bodrum is the most popular entertainment centre in the region, it isn't one of the inexpensive places. The price of beer in a pub is approx. 2.5 EUR, an alcoholic drink - 8 EUR. Often in pubs where live music is played, entry is free, but the first drink, regardless of what you order, will cost approx. 8 EUR. So we don't recommend ordering mineral water.

Those two are Halikarnas, where the price depends on the day of the week and season, and Katamaran, where you pay approx. 15 EUR to enter.

It is worth knowing that aside from imported drinks, freshly squeezed juices and Turkish coffee are also additionally payable.
Beaches: the terrains where Bodrum lies are of volcanic origin, therefore, the sand is not as light here as e.g. in Antalya. Besides, due to the mountainous terrain, the beaches are limited, they are located in bays and are generally narrow, sand and shingle.

Local trips: organised by local tourist agencies on terms specified by them. There is a possibility that, if there is not enough participants, a trip may be canceled.
