Bodrum

Whitewashed houses, elegant marinas, and an Aegean resort town that knows how to host well.

Turkey's coast, in polished form

Bodrum is one of the eastern Mediterranean’s strongest summer addresses when shaped correctly. Private villas, beach clubs, yachting, and a more design-conscious hotel scene give it broad appeal for families, couples, and groups. It can be lively, certainly, but the right peninsula base allows it to feel private, elegant, and very easy.
