Welcome to the city of fishermen and sponge divers on the Aegean Sea! Let Bodrum enchant you with its coastline dotted with peninsulas and bays. The cosmopolitan Turkish city at the foothills of the Taurus Mountains with its picturesque port is a paradise for sailors. Every year it attracts hundreds of boats and luxury yachts. Enjoy a view from the city entrance on the hillside: The numerous characteristic white houses gave Bodrum the name “The White City”. The turquoise sea sparkles between floral groves and in the old town around the port, small bars and restaurants tempt you with Turkish specialities and fresh fish. If you are interested in history, you can uncover what connects it to the seven wonders of the ancient world at the Castle of St. Peter. It is one of the most magnificent surviving Crusader castles in Europe. But what makes Bodrum stand out the most is its warm climate, making it the ideal place for all kinds of water sports.
