Things to do in Bodrum City, Turkish Aegean Coast: The Best Sightseeing Tours

October 3, 2021 Diedre Savory

Once a cozy fishing village of only a few thousand people, Bodrum has experienced a renaissance in the last half century that has transformed this once-sleepy community into one of Turkey's most popular vacation hotspots. Writers, intellectuals, artists and musicians have long called this Aegean town home, or second-home, attracting a vibrant cultural scene paralleled only by the town's nightlife. Windswept beaches and glittering waters provide the backdrop to the perfect beach getaway.

We spent the most amazing on the M/S Bodrum Queen in Bodrum. The gület is absolutely gorgeous and has all the 5 star hotel amenities you need. We sailed for 7 days around Bodrum and stayed in amazing bays. The crew was wonderful and so thoughtful as well. Our captain Mustafa really knew his way around. He’s also an amazing cook. Meli and Sabri (the crew members) were also great, they even caught some fresh for us which we cooked for dinner. The staff as well is really helpful, and will make sure everything is going well, from the airport pickup to the food menu. All in all I can only recommend booking a tour with these guys, they really know how to give you a memorable stay in Turkey.

Be aware that you have to pay for use of water guns. We were not told this when purchasing tickets. We spent too much time on breaks (45 minutes each time) in fact, more time was spent in total on breaks than actual jeep ride.
