Bodrum is a peninsula carrying the legacy of ancient Halicarnassus. With its historic monuments and coves, it blends culture and seaside tourism.
Historic heritage
The city’s symbol, Bodrum Castle, houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus — one of the Seven Wonders — and the ancient theatre are also here.
The peninsula’s coves
Gümüşlük, Yalıkavak, Türkbükü and Bitez are coves of different characters. Gümüşlük, overlooking a sunken city, is famous for its sunsets.
When to go
Late spring and early autumn are when crowds thin out and the weather is ideal.
Because the coves are scattered across the peninsula, Bodrum is a destination with high car rental demand. The rapid summer turnover requires rent a car companies to manage handover and return processes digitally.
