Homer describes Bodrum as "The land of eternal blue" and the words of another resident of Bodrum,
Cevat Sakir, who said "The heavenly bliss of life in Bodrum is better than any eternal bliss that may
await us" were not without foundation in reality. Throughout history of Bodrum, known as Halicarnassos
in ancient times, has always been fought over and people have been unwilling to share its beauty with
others.
Built on a peninsula formed by the meeting of the eastern and western harbors, Bodrum, with its
narrow streets winding down to the sea, 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.
Bodrum is one of the most beautiful cosmopolitan and sophisticated holiday resort in Turkey. At any
time of the day and night, there is always something going on here.
