Bodrum Town, referred to as the Turkish Riviera, is a charming, picturesque port on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The heart of the town is the harbor, where shops, bars and restaurants jostle in the narrow streets under the shadow of St. Peter Castle.
Bodrum has many raditional shopping streets selling almost everything from designer and copy goods to souvenirs where you can haggle for a good price. You may be surprised to know that some of the UK’s major brands like M&S, Tesco, and B&Q all have large retail outlets in Bodrum.
Bodrum also offers many fantastic restaurants serving traditional Turkish cuisine and many more dishes we are all familiar with. The waiters and staff are always happy to help you and if you ask are all too willing to explain and point out the best dishes of the day. As you would expect sea food plays a large role in the area with all being freshly caught at a fraction of the price you would pay in a UK restaurant.
Bodrum and it’s peninsula is Turkey’s premier holiday destination and has been welcoming visitors for many years. Many trips and activities are on offer to the holiday maker. You can catch daily boat trips which sail around the peninsula.
Bodrum also has its own large water park with guaranteed fun for young and old. With flumes, slides, wave pool, family pools, childrens pools, and sunbathing areas it is ideal for the whole family.
