The current Bodrum stands on the site of the ancient city of Halicarnassus, where the famous Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (353 BC), one of the 7 wonders of the world, was located.
In the Middle Ages, the miracle was destroyed by earthquakes, and the remains today can only be seen in the British Museum in London.
However, something of the ancient heritage has been preserved here, centuries-old evidence of ancient civilizations in the Old City peacefully coexist with fashion and modernity.
The coast of Bodrum is dotted with bays, each of which harbors amazingly beautiful, well-equipped beaches. Almost all of them belong to hotels and are regularly cleaned. Most of the coast is covered with pebbles, but there are also areas with loose sand. The water in the Aegean Sea is clean, the bottom is flat, safe for children. The beaches have all the amenities, equipment rentals, sunbeds and umbrellas (both paid - 5-10 TRY per set, and free), cafes and restaurants. More: what kind of sea is in Bodrum: pebbles and sand.
The longest beaches on the peninsula are located in Bitez, 7 km from the center of Bodrum. The surface here is sandy, pines and tangerines grow near the shore, the entrance to the water is convenient, without sudden changes in depth, which is especially appreciated by families with kids. You can diversify your vacation with windsurfing, catamarans and sailboats. Gumbet has a completely different mood: he attracts party-goers from all over Europe like a magnet.
