Where history meets the horizon.

Bodrum, the crown jewel of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, unfolds where rugged hills plunge into the Aegean’s sapphire expanse. Overlooked by the imposing silhouette of St Peter’s Castle and resting upon the ancient foundations of Halicarnassus—home to the Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—this seaside citadel invites connoisseurs of history and culture to traverse its labyrinthine streets and sun-drenched promenades.

Characterised by white-washed houses cascading down verdant slopes, Bodrum offers an intoxicating blend of heritage and vitality. By day, explore the subterranean passages of medieval fortifications or sail the glittering bay aboard a traditional gulet; by night, experience the transformation as gallery openings, intimate jazz performances and sophisticated lounges animate the waterfront.

Outdoor enthusiasts may ascend the nearby Taurus foothills for panoramic vistas or seek solitude in hidden coves accessible only by boat.
