A lively holiday destination that offers a combination of beautiful scenery, vibrant culture and fascinating history, Bodrum is a great place for a self-catering holiday.
There is an array of activities to do and places to explore in Bodrum. A beautiful city that is steeped in history, it is easy to spend your day exploring its winding streets. Visit the traditional bazaar, a colourful hotch-potch of stalls that sell delicately crafted leatherware, filigree silver and copper. It’s the ideal place if you want to pick up some souvenirs. You can also visit The Myndus Gate, the western entrance point to the city, the curiously coiffured Zeki Müren and the Mausoleum of Halikarnassus.
The town also has some of the best traditional restaurants in the region. Turkish cuisine takes flavours from Asia Minor, Africa, the Mediterranean and the coastlines of the Middle East. A speciality that comes from this combination is the mouthwatering selection of mezes, that include stuffed vine leaves. In the local restaurants, you can try a wonderfully tender lamb and variety of chicken stews and roasts.
If you prefer to cook for yourself, go out to sample some traditional Turkish tea. Served hot and strong, with flaky pastries and baklavas, it is both refreshing and delicious.
The bubbling atmosphere of the town, interesting histories and long sun-soaked days, crystal clear skies and turquoise seas make Bodrum a fantastic holiday destination.
