Bodrum Holidays
Take all inclusive breaks to Bodrum
An ancient settlement of painted villas, cascading gardens and narrow winding streets, the twin harbour town of Bodrum is perfect for all inclusive holidays, having everything you need for a perfect holiday: ancient ruins, boat excursions, water sports and, above all, stunning beaches.
Bodrum is one of Turkey’s top destinations for last minute breaks, and the mild climate means we at Future Travel can offer it to you throughout the year.
Things to do on Bodrum breaks
The 15th century Castle of St Peter dominates the town from between the two harbours, and is home to a fascinating underwater archaeology museum. Also worth visiting are the ruins of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.
The town has retained much of its cultural dignity, and people on Bodrum holidays mingle freely with the locals. Away from the resort hotels, life continues much as it has done for centuries, so expect bustling bazaars and wailing muezzin with the water sports and nightlife. To escape the bustle, day trips from the harbour visit the unspoilt islands and beaches further along the coast.
Shopping and eating in Bodrum
Even last minute breaks to Bodrum would not be complete without visiting the dozens of shops lining the narrow streets. As well as Turkish meerschaum pipes and onyx jewellery you can buy carpets, kilims, leatherware and pottery. There are also weekly craft and produce markets (where it’s customary to haggle, even over the fruit and veg).
Many people take last minute breaks to Bodrum in self catering apartments, so they can enjoy the local produce to the full. However, Bodrum has an impressive selection of restaurants selling local specialities and seafood, as well as an eclectic mix of international cuisines.
For those seeking Bodrum holidays away from the town centre, Denizhan and Epsilon are both small villages renowned for their authentic Turkish cuisine.
Things to do in Bodrum
Many holidaymakers taking holidays to Bodrum tend to eschew the busier nightclubs on the Konacik road, and opt for all inclusive holidays in quieter areas. Wherever you are in Bodrum, however, you can expect clean, crystalline beaches and a packed itinerary of water sports like scuba diving, windsurfing and jet-skiing. Lessons as well as equipment hire can be arranged.
If you book last minute holidays in Bodrum out of season, you will find it cool enough to hike or cycle the local hills and villages. Afterwards, enjoy a hamam, or Turkish bath, in the hotel spa – Turkish massages are also popular.
