Bodrum

Bodrum is a resort and city in Turkey, on the Aegean Sea. Bodrum is the birthplace of Herodotus, a sailing center and a favorite destination for bohemian audiences from all over the world. 

Bodrum is considered the most bohemian and sophisticated resort in Turkey. It is located opposite the Greek island of Kos, and its shores are washed by the Aegean Sea. It is believed that this is a truly Greek resort with a unique climate, beaches with golden sand and a touch of history (Bodrum is the former Greek city of Halicarnassus, where the eponymous mausoleum was built, one of the seven wonders of the world). The resort is famous for its rich club life, in the evenings at discos there is nowhere to fall, the frequent winds have turned the coast into the best places for surfing. In the immediate vicinity there are many cozy bays, where the wind does not reach at all, excellent places for families with children.

There are two ways to get to the resort: from Bodrum airport (40-45 minutes on the way), or from Dalaman airport (4 hours on the way), depending on which airport is cheaper. By the way, the city airport is famous for one of the most expensive duty-free in the world, it is better to stock up on everything necessary for the flight in advance. From the Greek island of Kos from April to October, ferries go to Bodrum (approximate price in both directions - 40 euros).

Turkey loves to eat, so you won't be deprived of a choice of cafes and restaurants. The most popular are small fish restaurants run by families. Our advice: do not be too lazy to walk a little further than the tourist area, there are special places where you can have a snack. In such restaurants, guests are met by the owner himself, the service is more cordial and sincere, the dishes are tastier, and the prices are slightly lower.

Alp Kaptan – небольшой, семейный ресторан в центре города. Кухня традиционна для турецких заведений: много овощей, баранины и пряностей, а одной порцией можно накормить нескольких человек. Поблизости много ресторанов с подобной кухней, но выбрать стоит именно этот: несколько минут до воды, порции – самые щедрые.
