Holidays in Bodrum

An introduction to Bodrum

Holidays in Bodrum are big, busy… and utterly bewitching. So if you're interested being totally inactive, then this buzzing, beautiful place on Turkey's Aegean coast probably isn't for you.

Circling a postcard-perfect bay overlooked by an imperious Crusader Castle, Bodrum is a captivating, cosmopolitan fusion of East and West. Characterised by sugar-white houses spilling down its hillsides, its bustling bazaars, maze-like old town, historic treasures and shop-lined marina make it ideal for action-seekers, shopaholics and sightseeing fiends. Throw in endless Turkish and international restaurants, and the hyperactive nightlife offered by the old town's music bars and clubs, and you'll be spoilt for things to do and enjoy.

Go with Thomson and the choice extends to accommodation. Or for a chic, coupley kind of base, try the elegant Indian Summer, which is only a short walk from the centre of Bodrum. Whether you're planning a self-catering stay, an all-inclusive, cheap break or last-minute holidays to Bodrum, we'll come good.

Almost forgot: Bodrum holidays don't mean missing out on the beach. Wherever you're staying, just hop on a dolmus to discover the local, lovely bays indented into the coastline. Sunny, sandy and equipped with fun watersports, they're ready and waiting whenever you fancy lazier days.
