Bodrum 37.00N 27.30E.

Bodrum was the city of Halikarnassos in ancient times, an important port in the center of the old world. Modern Bodrum is to Turkey, what Cannes is to the South of France. It is everything and anything you want it to be, historic, interesting, relaxing and lively.

An imposing Crusader Castle overlooks the harbor and the International Marina. When you have had enough of the many harbor-side bars, restaurants and historical sights, there is still a whole peninsula to explore. Mountains and green valleys, traditional villages and isolated beaches, all within view of the warm clear waters of the Aegean Sea.

A twice weekly market attracts people from the villages around the Bodrum, adding another dimension to this popular resort.
