A far cry from its origins as a small fishing village, the glamorous Bodrum of today draws both tourists and well-heeled Turks to the southernmost point of the Aegean coast. A sleek marina in the town contrasts with whitewashed houses that have a distinctly Greek feel, and Bodrum’s impressive castle stands proudly as a nod to the rich history in the area. Plentiful shopping, including an atmospheric bazaar, diverse dining and a vibrant nightlife scene promise a buzzy atmosphere in the town, whilst sun-drenched glamour sweeps out along the coast, where luxury resorts hugging idyllic stretches of sand with seductive sea views set the scene for pure relaxation. Days can be spent sunbathing, boat-tripping and enjoying watersports, whilst, beyond the beaches, an enchanting landscape dotted with historic windmills, ancient wonders and charming villages awaits.
