Holidays in Turkey - Bodrum & Izmir

 

An introduction to Turkey - Bodrum & Izmir

Something about holidays to Turkey's Bodrum Peninsula keeps people coming back year after year. Isn't it about time you were in the know?

There's no simple answer the area's hypnotic attraction. It could be the array of beautiful beaches, all caressed by the Aegean sea. Or the booming nightlife, complete with trendy bars and neon nightclubs. It could be the unique meeting of the modern world and a landscape littered with ancient history. It's probably a cocktail of all three. And more. Plus, there's endless offers of cheap holidays to Turkey's Bodrum region. Ideal for that last minute getaway or a longed for summer break.

So what's it like? Well, rugged hills meet the sea in a flurry of sand and pebble beaches. You'll find the long curved bays of Gumbet and Bitez have sandy shores that attract everyone. And have all the watersports you can imagine. Smaller places like Torba and Gundogan have quieter coves to hide away in. Bodrum itself may not have a beach to call its own, but the picturesque streets, bustling markets and historic castle are more than enough to make up for that.

Whether you've gone all inclusive or have chosen a self-catering holiday to Turkey, Bodrum's Peninsula caters for you. From donerkebabs to mezes, food here is equally familiar and foreign. Fuel up before you go out – you won't have a moment's rest in Gumbet's raging nocturnal scene. For a calmer evening, you can't beat the more sedate Bitez or a tucked away taverna in Bodrum.

Travel to Turkey's Bodrum Peninsula once - and you will be back again.
