Welcome to Bodrum

Even if more than a million tourists arrive to its beaches, boutique hotels and clubs each summer, Bodrum never loses its cool. More than any other Turkish seaside escape, it has an enigmatic elegance that pervades it, from the town's grand crowning castle and glittering marina to its flower-filled cafes and white-plastered backstreets. Only in the past few decades Bodrum started to be associated with paradisiacal beaches and glittering summertime luxury. Before it was a simple fishing village, and old-timers can still remember when everything was in a different place or didn't exist at all. Long time before the palmed promenades and epicurean seafood restaurants, Bodrum wasn't even desirable. Everything changed after one of the inmates took over the prison. Urban planners have also required preserving Bodrum's essential Aegean character, which was influenced by the Cretans who moved here during the population exchange of the 1920s. Today, laws restrict buildings' heights, and the whitewashed houses with bright-blue trim evoke a lost era. The evocative castle and the ancient ruins and Ottoman mosques around town also help keep Bodrum a discerning step above the rest.
