“The land of eternal blue.” This is how Homer describes Bodrum. Situated on a beautiful peninsula, Bodrum is one of the most spectacular resorts in Turkey with its charm residing in its blend of relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, historical architecture and its proximity to a vast array of fantastic beaches, fishing villages and trendy nightclubs. The city, known in ancient times as Halicarnassos, town of Herodotus, has grown dramatically in recent years with the opening of an international airport – yet its delightful charm remains intact with palm-lined streets and whitewashed, flat-roofed houses dotted across its terraced hillsides. Another major attraction of Bodrum is its buzzing cafes, restaurants and shops, as well as its wealth of trendy and sophisticated nightlife. By day, the central bazaar is a great place for shopping with its array of leather, clothes, carpets and assorted souvenir and gift shops. Or, if you venture into the narrow streets of the old town around Meyhaneler Street, you will discover chic boutiques and souvenir shops, along with rustic Turkish restaurants. There is also a weekly market near the bus station if you want a colorful taste of the native produce, including the delicious locally grown tangerines.
