Cheap Holidays Bodrum

Turkey’s Bodrum Peninsula - Whether you desire a relaxing holiday lounging on the beach, a day of shopping or a good night out, the Bodrum Peninsula has it all.

All the resorts of the Bodrum Peninsula such as Turgutreis, Altinkum and Yalikavak are connected by regular, low priced dolmus services which, if not hiring a car, are an ideal way to observe the spectacular scenery. Alternatively, you could take one of the daily boat trips to visit one of the several bays and small seaside villages. You can sit back at one of the waterfront cafés to watch the old fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, or take a walk in the country.

The Bodrum Peninsula offers an easy going charm and is an ideal place to experience what makes Turkey a country that holidaymakers return to year after year. Visit the picturesque resort of Bodrum, where the castle of St. Peter, beautifully illuminated at night, presides over the large yacht filled bay. Explore palm lined streets, with excellent shopping, eat al fresco and then enjoy Bodrum’s famous and vibrant nightlife.

The seas around the peninsula are clear, warm and excellent for bathing and diving, with coral reefs, caves and majestic rock formations to explore. Take a popular boat cruise to Karaada (Black Island) just south of Bodrum, where the orange mud found at the springs is known for its health benefits. Take a drive, or tour, out of the resorts and you will find traditional Turkish villages where life is tranquil and hospitality is warm.

The peninsula has great significance in Turkey’s history, and you can visit two of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Mausoleum is on the peninsula, and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus is only a day trip away, which is a highlight of any holiday to Turkey.
