Luxury holidays in Turkey (bodrum)

An introduction to Turkey (bodrum)

Let us tempt you with talk of luxury breaks in Turkey's Bodrum Peninsula - and inspire you to seek out this Oriental treasure.

You've heard of Gumbet's luminous nightlife? Seen pictures of choc-a-bloc beaches? If it's not quite what you're after, forget those images. Uncover luxurious holidays to Turkey's Bodrum region. Secluded coves lined with sand and pebble beaches, where all you'll hear is crystal waters breaking on the shore. Small villages where top hotels littered the seafront. Evenings by the waterside, lingering over a meze and savouring local wines. These are Turkey's Bodrum Peninsula's luxury holidays.

The Peninsula is Turkey at its most developed, and there's 5 star hotels in most of its resorts. Retreat from the buzz of Bodrum to little Torba. Its pebble smattered shores and clear sea have attracted locals and good hotels alike. Gundogan maybe small, but the hotels dotted along its sandy bay are renowned for their quality. Bigger Bitez's beach is rightfully popular, but the atmosphere remains sedate.

You must indulge in a hamam in Turkey – it's rude not to! And why not a spa session too? Spend the day sipping drinks and exploring offshore caves on a cruise. Trot off to the Hayvansaray Riding Centre or haggle in the bazaars for that choice piece of onyx. Sample some history at the 2500 year old Lelegian tombs or take a ferry trip to Didyma, to explore the Temple of Apollo. As for the evening, remember that al fresco dinner?

The highest standards of Europe, with a hint of the exotic – holidays in Turkey's Bodrum Peninsula are simply unique.
