Situated on a beautiful
peninsula, Bodrum, once
home of the famous Greek
historian Herodotus, is these
days better known as a
popular holiday resort.
Enchanting villages of white
houses trimmed with purple
bougainvillea along miles

more splendid by
the growing number of
luxury hotels and vibrant
cuisine.

Turkish bath with a
contemporary twist at
the Macakizi Hotel.

bazaars in Bodrum and

traditional mezes.
04 Historical sites and
Bodrum’s unique
architecture.
