Things To Do

Aquapark Dedeman

Offering fun for all of the family, Aquapark Dedeman is located around half an hour from the heart of Bodrum and provides fun for all the family thanks to a wide selection of different rides and attractions. In total, there are more than 20 slides of differing sizes, as well as a lazy river on which to relax.

Bodrum Amphitheatre

The Roman amphitheatre dates back thousands of years and is located just outside the resort on the road to Gumbet. Paying a visit to the theatre provides the chance to take in stunning views back across the town whilst you might even be able to catch a show if you are there in the middle of the main tourist season as it’s still in use today.

Bodrum Castle

Bodrum Castle dates back to the early 1400s and sits in a prime position overlooking the harbour area. The well preserved structure is something that you can’t miss given its position in the town and a visit is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip.

Museum of Underwater Archaeology

This popular museum sits within Bodrum Castle and is home to a number of discoveries that were made from shipwrecks in the Aegean Sea. That includes treasure from wrecks that have been under the surface for thousands of years as well as reconstructed models of two ships; the Fatımi and the Uluburun.

Halicarnassus

Ranked as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the remains of the ancient city of Halicarnassus – destroyed by an earthquake in 1304 - sit within Bodrum and are one of the most popular tourist attractions. Take a stroll through the ruins and you can see what remains of many of the structures and gain an insight into what the ancient city would have been like.

Retail therapy

There are plenty of opportunities to seek out a bargain during a holiday in Bodrum, with a bustling market where you can barter for the best deal on a range of different goods, and a large mall that includes stores from many of the big names you may recognise from back home.
