Bodrum Travel Forum

can you please advise me im travelling alone with my nine year old daughter to bodrum for two weeks and although i have been before fifteen years ago could you remind me of visa prices and costs to enter greek waters if going to kos and ferry prices we are both british passport holders also reading some of the reviews on this site it has made me wonder if bodrum has got more dangerous of late as i can only remember kind and helpful people before and never felt at risk even if i was on own with my other daughter.

Additionally , i lived in Bodrum in 1995-99 but i remember everything was all ok even late at night.Bodrum is a party place and everywhere actually very crowded even late at night...I have been to Bodrum in 2003 once again and it was all same..i am only sick all that hassle of the Turkish blokes thats all..I love Bodrum so much :)
But same as everywhere stick around the up-market places late at night and do not get in random taxi always get the taxi from taxi station :)

thanks for your help wont be out late at night as daughter only nine but thanks for advice especially on taxis ans also ferrys

Hi there...

First of all I dont think there is that much danger in bodrum for anybody.Every city/country/resort has got crime and bodrum's crime is no more than than the others.Ferries to kos start working everyday now and the price is 25 euros per person.children 0-12 is 3 euro.

Hi, I have been to Bodrum 8 times in 10 years and certainly never felt in any danger. The turkish people are hospitable and kind - just as you remember them, they are totally into children and will love to make jokes with your daughter. The town is so busy for most of the day and night there are few places that are unsafe to walk. Have a great time!! It's my favourite holiday destination!

I went to Bodrum last October and took the ferry across to Kos - it was a very good day and plenty of families on the boat although I thought Bodrum had a lot more to offer than Kos and was really pleased that we were staying there and not in Kos. I went on a day trip on a boat around the bays which was absolutely brill and would definately go again . . stopping off to swim. You can book a trip at the quay side. The only thing I was a bit unhappy with was that there isnt a beach as such just a pebbly strip but the bars have put chairs and tables out so you can sit and have a drink and watch the sunset over the castle - Have a great time

25 euro
children 0-12 3 euro
there should be no visa price as they are EU
