Bodrum ActivitiesBodrum DiningBodrum Sights
There are plenty of things to do while you stay in the beautiful town of Bodrum. Take a boat trip
to the Greek Islands of Kos or Rhodes which make the perfect destination for a day trip. Go horse
riding along the beaches or try river rafting down the Dalaman River. During the spring months
walking and hiking are a popular way of enjoying the region while jeep safaris offer the same scenery
without the strenuous exercise.
The Turkish cuisine is richly diverse and is the result of centuries of trade between the East and
the West. Influenced by flavours and dishes from across the Mediterranean the food in Bodrum offers
some delicious flavours. Popular dishes normally include fish or meat such as beef, lamb and chicken.
Lahmacun is a pancake type pizza with a thin layer of pastry containing mince meat and fresh herbs
and spices.
Bodrum is full of things to see which include one of Turkey’s best preserved medieval buildings,
the Castle of St Peter. The ruins at Ephesus make a great day trip and here you will find a great
historical site where the Temple of Artemis once stood. Overlooking the town of Bodrum is a Roman
amphitheatre which was built during the reign of King Mausolus and was used to entertain the town’s
citizens. The amphitheatre has been lovingly restored and hosts the town’s annual festival each
September.
