Sat on the Southern Aegean coast of Türkiye, Bodrum was once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Mausoleum of Halikarnassus. Nowadays, it’s a bustling market town that enjoys typically hot Mediterranean weather with a range of beaches nearby.

Bodrum has also become a popular sailing destination; if you don’t own your own sailboat, you can hire private boats for trips around the beautiful bay. Fragments of the ancient city are still dotted around the town, making Bodrum an ideal destination for tourists looking for the beach life alongside pieces of ancient history.
