Bodrum Travel Forum

Hi there, we have 1 day at Bodum, Antalya and Cyprus and would like to make the most of them. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

hello,

spend your Cyprus day in a city called '' Girne '' which is more attractive than other towns of Turkish Republic of Cyprus. For Bodrum,it will be better if you will stay at the main heart of the city to see some must places of the town like museums,bars,night life etc... About Antalya, again the location of your hotel will play an important role to travel around the city. For example,within 1-2 hours by bus from Antalya,you can be able to see the historical theatre in a town called '' Side '',and come to '' Manavgat '' to see the wonderful waterfall for example.

Definitely the castle in Bodrum. It will take 3 hours. Best in early morning if you're there in the summer.

Hi if you are going to stay only one day in Bodrum , I would suggest you to visit the castle first. And afterwards you can wander down to the harbour see the stunning gulets (traditional Turkish wooden boats).You can also walk to the bar street where you can find small shops & bars.On this way have a cup of coffee at Mado where you have nice Castle view. There is nothing to do in Bodrum in winter time so I would suggest you to hire a car & visit the villages bays of Bodrum. You can make a peninsula tour starting from Gumbet, Bitez, Ortakent, Yahsi, Camel Beach, Akyarlar, Turgutreis, Gumusluk, Yalikavak, Turkbuku , Torba & back to Bodrum.
