Visit Ancient Sites
As it was the first part of the trip to Turkey and I was there for some relaxing time, I didn’t do any cultural tour, but for sure it’s a place where you can visit many ancient places. The Bodrum Castle is the most known of the Region and houses numerous underwater discoveries of the Aegean Sea. The milenar Greek city of Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – is about 2 hours drive from Bodrum and definitely worth the visit.
Sail Along the Coast
One of the best things you can do while in the Turkish Coast is to rent a private Gulet for one day and sail along pristine secret beaches. The Gulets are not expensive and they are so charming. I went there in the most busy week of the year, so I couldn’t have the chance, but I wanna definitely do that next time. If you are traveling on a budget, you can have a group boat tour, that may be fantastic too.
Relax in Style at a Trendy Beach Club
There are many beach clubs in Bodrum. Some of the most famous ones are in private beaches of luxurious hotels. I spend a day at KAI Beach Restaurant and Bar, from Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and had a wonderful day. Fabulous beach with crystal waters, outstanding service and food, cool ambience and elegant music make the place even more special. You can also try Il Riccio and Maçakizi. It’s important to mention that you usually have to pay a fee for the entrance.
Watch the Sun Setting in the Sea
Bodrum is a pensinsula, so you have beaches where you can watch the sunrise and others where you can watch the sunset. There is nothing more beautiful than enjoy the sun setting in the sea. The best places to enjoy it are Yalikavac and Gumusluk area, but you can also watch the sunset from Bodrum Town (why not try a nice restaurant there, such as Sait).
Dinner Overwater
Can you imagine a place where you can watch the sunset while having a delicious white wine and marvelous seafood seating at an overwater table? Gumusluk is this place. One of the most famous spot of the area, it has a magical ambience. The best restaurant to have the most wonderful experience is Melengeç, but there are many others in the area.
Dinner in a Fancy Restaurant
Bodrum is glamorous and houses the best restaurants of Turkey. Which means you have many options to choose when you want to have a fancy night. For me the best area for that is Yalikavac Marina, where many beautiful people walk around and beautify the trendy Fenix Restaurant and the famous Nus-Ret, as many others.
