Bodrum Holidays

The cosmopolitan resort of Bodrum has been a firm favourite with holidaymakers of all ages for many years. As one of the most captivating resorts in Turkey, Bodrum holidays offer a mix of east and west as well as old meets new. Set in a stunning bay where whitewashed buildings tumble down green hills to the beautiful beaches that are lapped by crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea.

Overlooking the town centre is the fifteenth-century St Peter’s Castle, which was once a crusader outpost and now houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. The narrow streets wind around the castle to form Bodrum’s old town where there is a wide choice of shops selling everything from spices to luxury handmade jewellery or Turkish carpets and everything in between. Enjoy some time browsing the shops and haggle as hard as you can to pick up a good bargain.
