Bodrum

With culture, history, nature and nightlife, it’s no surprise that Bodrum is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Turkey; there’s something to please everyone. The town’s distinct white houses nestle in the slopes that lead down to the harbour. The marina is filled with hundreds of gulets made by the expert local boatmakers. And nearby, the impressive Bodrum Castle is backed by cool winding lanes that lead through to the beach.

Cleopatra Beach

According to legend, Cleopatra Island was the secret meeting place of Antony and Cleopatra and it is said that Antony brought white sands all the way from Egypt to please his lover. While according to science, the sand on Cleopatra Beach is produced by particular geological reaction and is only found in two places in the world. Whichever story you prefer, the sand is unbelievably soft and the pure white colour makes it an excellent spot for snorkelling. Furthermore, Cleopatra Island (also called Sedir Island or Cedar Island) is the site of the ancient city of Kedriai and you can also see the theatre, agora and ruins. Visiting the island costs 15 Turkish Lira and is on the Bodrum – Gokova route.

Nightlife

English Harbour

During the Second World War, British ships were concealed in this natural harbour and it’s this that gives the cove its name. Nowadays, English Harbour is an extremely quiet and peaceful village. A beautiful cove, surrounded by pine trees, you can swim in the clear waters and enjoy getting in touch with nature. In the evenings, it’s particularly spectacular as the moon and stars reflect of the calm waters. Visits to English Harbour are part of the Bodrum – Gokova route.

Culture and history

Santorini

The Cyclades Islands are the best island-hopping destination in Greece and one of the jewels in the crown is Santoríni. Inspiration to poets and the kind of place where every photo you take looks like a postcard, you can’t help but fall under Santoríni’s spell. And if the day doesn’t impress, we guarantee that the sunset will; the Rough Guide’s no.1 ‘Thing not to miss’ in Greece is sunset in Santoríni. Available to visit on the Bodrum – Mýkonos route.
