6 reasons why Bodrum should be your next beach holiday
From its A-list fans to the great-value Turkish lira, here's why we're heading to Bodrum
As far as glamorous beach holiday destinations go, Bodrum is up there with the likes of Ibiza, St Tropez, Mykonos and Hvar. Whether you've been to Bodrum before or not, right now is the time to escape to the Aegean beauty spot.
In fact, our friends at Expedia tell us they've seen a 55 per cent rise in interest for holidays to Bodrum this year compared to 2021.
Located in south-west Turkey on the Turkish Riviera, aka the Turquoise Coast, Bodrum is a peninsula encompassing a city with the same name and various towns and villages. It's the ideal destination for everyone, whether you're after the nightlife of Bodrum's city, the yacht life in Yalıkavak or the laid-back feel of quaint Gümüşlük.
With its turquoise waters, excellent fish restaurants and a whole host of luxurious places to stay (some of the best hotels in Bodrum to open in recent years include Susona, METT Social Living and Radisson Collection Hotel Bodrum), it's the perfect place to escape for a well-deserved break.
The Mediterranean climate means June to September are the most popular times to visit Bodrum, with highs of 36 degrees, but if you're after cooler temperatures of around 21 degrees and fewer crowds, October is worth considering for an autumn getaway.
From the luxury hotels to the stylish celebrities who visited this summer, here's why we've got our eyes on Bodrum right now.
