When to Go

The swimming season runs from May to October; June and September offer the best balance of warmth and crowds. July and August are the peninsula’s busiest months and hotels fill quickly. Spring and autumn are ideal for exploring the bays and ancient remains at a gentle pace.

Getting There

The nearest airport is Milas-Bodrum, with Dalaman another option. For a private transfer to your hotel, see Milas-Bodrum Airport to Bodrum transfer. Dolmuş minibuses link the bays on the peninsula, and hiring a car makes exploring easy.

Bodrum Castle and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, the remains of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the ancient theatre, the ruins of Myndos at Gümüşlük and boat trips are Bodrum classics. For ancient sites, the Temple of Apollo at Didim makes a good day trip.

Who Is It For?
