Bodrum is a mainly known for its nightlife on the Aegean Coast. One of Turkey's best known and longest established resorts, the town is known for its lively port, good beaches, and colorful nightlife.
During the day, yachting, boating, swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving are the main diversions. Bodrum is a good place to arrange for a boat trip to neighboring islands and secluded beaches for sunning and snorkeling. At night, bars, pubs, clubs and discos rock late into the night.
One of Bodrum’s great attractions is shopping. The main bazaar area lies in the pedestrian precinct at the foot of the castle and the narrow streets are packed with little shops selling a huge variety of local goods and specialties. For gold at excellent prices, try Burak Jewellery, which has two branches in town.
Few of the tourists who flock in realize when they book that Bodrum used to house one of the seven wonders of the world. Now you may still find beaches and nightlife more important, but this area has a lot of history adn it would be a waste to leave Bodrum without having seen some of it. Bodrum is a great place to explore the cultural richness of the region.
