Bodrum was built on a peninsula formed by the meeting of the eastern and western harbors. It has narrow streets winding down to the sea and is famous for its castle, its world-renowned yachts, its shipyards and the dazzling white houses and tombs lining the shores of its two harbors.
Today Bodrum has everything that one would expect to find in a vacation getaway. It is an important tourist center in both winter and summer. Bodrum has what it takes to make everyone feel at home, from the rich yacht owners who come from around the globe to the penny-counting backpacker who just wants a reasonable room so that he can stretch his budget to make his vacation last all summer.
