Regions in Turkey

Bodrum at a glance:

• Charming and fascinating harbour
• Cosmopolitan feel
• Shops bars and restaurants under the shadow of St. Peter Castle
• Crystal clear waters

Bodrum is located in the Aegean region of Turkey. The Aegean Coast of Turkey is an extra-ordinary place with its immense unspoilt coastline & warm climate which offers all year round sunshine.

Bodrum was the city of Halikarnassos in ancient times, an important port in the centre of the old world. Modern Bodrum is to Turkey, what Cannes is to the South of France. It is everything and anything you want it to be, historic, interesting, relaxing and lively.

The heart of the town is around the harbour, where shops, bars and restaurants jostle together in the narrow streets under the shadow of the St. Peter Castle. When you have had enough of the many harbour-side bars, restaurants and historical sights, there is still a whole peninsula to explore. Mountains and green valleys, traditional villages and isolated beaches, all within view of the warm clear waters of the Aegean Sea.

Dalaman, home to Dalaman Airport, which serves Marmaris, Dalyan, Fethiye, Ovacik Hisaronou and Oludeniz.

Dalaman is the gateway to the Turquoise Coast, which stretches east to Antalya and west to Marmaris, along Turkey's southwestern Mediterranean coast.

Dalaman itself is a little Turkish Mediterranean farming town south of the coastal road. But most holiday visitors just pass through Dalaman Airport and on to their holiday resort.

The large region stretches from Antalya to Marmaris. Fethiye is a charming harbour town with a lively atmosphere and has plenty of good restaurants along the harbour front. One of the most beautiful of all Mediterranean beaches is at Olu Deniz with white sand, crystal blue waters and pine-covered slopes.
