Family activities in Bodrum centre around the beach, but if the kids get fed up of banana-boat rides and boogie boarding, they'll love a trip to Dedeman Aquapark to enjoy the slides.
Bodrum was home to the Tomb of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and is now the most international of Turkey's summer towns renowned for its foreign restaurants, vibrant atmosphere and Bohemian lifestyle. Today's Bodrum has aspects that appeal to a broad range of interests, the sunbather, the deep sea diver, the avid sailor, the night club fan and the shop-a-holic can all fully indulge in their favourite pastime. The one sight you can't miss is the stunning Castle of St Peter in the middle of the town. It dates from the 15th century and is home to the excellent Museum of Underwater Archaeology, which young and old alike will love.
Bodrum is one of the top destinations in Turkey for night-life. Nearby Gumbet is a fantastic option for a good disco and the partying often continues until dawn. The club with undoubtedly the biggest and noisiest reputation is Halikarnas Disco, perched on the edge of the bay.
The town's main street is lined with bars, English-style pubs and sports bars so you could even indulge in a good old-fashioned pub crawl. There are good Latin American-themed bars too, if you fancy a bit of a salsa.
Shopping in Bodrum. If you fancy getting stuck into some Turkish food, try vine leaves stuffed with vegetables, roast meat kebabs and tasty kofte, meatballs of minced lamb seasoned with spices, served with rice and salad. Turkish pizza (pideci) is very tasty.
