Jutting out into the Aegean, the Bodrum peninsula sits
opposite the Greek Island of Kos and between the somewhat brasher
resorts of Marmaris to its south and Kusadasi in the north. Bodrum
has an enigmatic elegance that attracts a more discerning crowd in
the form of well-heeled city dwellers from Istanbul and Ankara as
well as an eclectic mix of visitors from around the
world.
Smart marinas, cool clubs and great eateries sit alongside
the town's compelling history in the form of Bodrum's crowning
castle, white washed houses and ancient ruins. The town retains
much of its Aegean character, largely because of the influence of
the Cretans who moved to Bodrum in large numbers as part of the
population exchange in the 1920s but also because of the policies
of urban planners in recent years to restrict building heights.
Much of the peninsula possesses an intrinsic charm; its pine clad
hills, low rise coastal villages and vivid colours ever present in
the profusion of bougainvillea will tempt you to explore and
discover more about the area.
The peninsula is home to some of Turkey's finest hotels
and is within approximately a 30 minutes transfer time from the
international airport. We offer what we consider are the most
exciting, comfortable and enticing options for Bodrum holiday
accommodation in our collection.
