GUIDE TO BODRUM REGION HOLIDAYS

Great Beaches, And Excellent Entertainment...

Bodrum holidays will find you enjoying long, gloriously hot summer seasons from May through to October, where temperatures can be expected to reach an average of 30? Celsius, the beautiful Bodrum region has developed into one of the most popular tourist destinations anywhere in Europe. Located on the Aegean Sea in south west Turkey with magnificent views across to the island of Kos, it offers plenty of perfect spots for everybody to embrace. From quaint little fishing villages to full on party resorts, the region keeps on giving and giving.

Besieged with history everywhere you turn the region has definitely not lost any of its original identity either - Bodrum town itself stands on the site of the ancient city of Halicarnassus and is now home to a world famous nightclub bearing the same name. The region also has great access to the ancient city of Ephesus, now an important archaeological site and an ever popular draw for tourists who visit in large numbers.

Access to the main resorts in the Bodrum region was made easier in the year 2000, when the new airport passenger terminal was completed at Bodrum airport, which reduced holidaymakers transfer times to Bodrum, Gumbet and Altinkum considerably, although the resort of Kusadasi remains longer. Bodrum now takes around 30 minutes to reach, Gumbet takes around 45 minutes, whilst Altinkum takes around 1 hour 10 minutes.

This is a real bonus in Turkey, because in other regions it can take around 2 hours to reach most major resorts. There is a wide range of accommodation types and standards available to suit all budgets and tastes here. Most people choose to stay on a bed and breakfast board basis as its cheap enough to eat and drink out in the resorts themselves. Bodrum holidays provide a great base for all types of traveller - those who are looking for a bustling and lively town rich in history should opt to stay in Bodrum with its 15th century crusader's castle, whilst the nearby resort of Gumbet is a great base for a party holiday.

Traditional Turkish Culture And A Warm Turkish Welcome...

Many families looking for fun choose to stay in the beach resort of Altinkum, which translates into 'Golden sands' into English and as the name suggests has obvious benefits for families to travel to, whilst many people who seek a relaxingly quiet base won't be left disappointed either as there are many low-key resorts such as Torba, Bitez and Cesme to enjoy.

There are an abundance of activities to keep you occupied during your holidays in Bodrum, from visiting the water parks to participating in the water sports on the beach, whilst if bargain hunting is your thing then you will love the shopping opportunities and market trips where you can haggle 'til your heart's content! Boat trips are also readily available over to the gorgeous Greek island of Kos located near to the Bodrum region, where you can absorb the wonderful Greek hospitality for the day. If all this sounds like too much exertion for you, then of course you could always just lay back and take advantage of some of the best beaches in the whole of Turkey.

So what makes the Bodrum region so special?Well for starters this region has a summer of uninterrupted sunshine perfect for sunbathing and topping up that all important tan!The unique Turkish culture can be absorbed everywhere you turn and you will feel enriched from the warmth of the Turkish people.There is a fantastic mix of the old and the new with tiny fishing villages standing side by side with modern tourist resorts which have the benefit of much recent infrastructure (for example the resort of Turgutreis has a new 5 star marina) and there is also many modern colourful markets to browse around.You won't get tired of exploring this great region but if you do, then you can always enjoy a Turkish bath at the end of a long and weary day!

Another present advantage of visiting Turkey is that they have yet to join the Euro and therefore you can currently still reap the benefits of the Turkish Lira, where you'll find you'll get much more for your money than anywhere in the 'Euro zone'.So come and fall in love with the Bodrum region - you'll return again and again, yet you won't ever get bored of the area, as there are so many different and wonderful places to stay and visit here.Holidays to Bodrum are available to book at Late Deals today.
