Bodrum, known as the "Bedroom of the Mediterranean", is an attractive tourist destination in Turkey. Known earlier as Halicarnassus, Bodrum is also known as the birthplace of Herodotus, the "father of history". Bodrum Castle & Harbour
The town’s charm is well known, attracting a diverse population of vacationers who stroll along its long palm-lined waterfront while elegant yachts crowd its marina. The hillsides are covered with beautiful villas.
Not far from town, you can swim in azure blue, tideless and warm seas. Underwater divers have a great time exploring the numerous reefs, caves and rock formations. Multicoloured sponges of all shapes and sizes, octopi and an immense variety of colourful aquatic life make Bodrum an interesting place to visit. Watch the craftsmen build traditional yachts, or just shop to your heart’s delight. Leather goods of all kinds, natural sponges and the local blue glass beads are among the bargains to be found in the friendly little shops along the narrow white-walled streets. Charming boutiques sell kilims, carpets, sandals and embroidery as well as original fashions in soft cotton.
