Bodrum - Things to do & Attractions

Top Things to do in Bodrum

Visit Greece for a Day!

Feel like getting away for a day? Take a day trip by hydrofoil from Bodrum to Kos! You’ll have enough time to explore the beautiful old town and Asclepion, an ancient healing centre and the birthplace of Hippocrates - the father of medicine. With children under 7 going free this is a great value-for-money full-day excursion for the family.

Relax and Enjoy

Fancy escaping from the hustle and bustle? Why not experience a genuine Turkish bath, including a typical Turkish massage and pampering treatments. Bliss!

Go on Safari!

Explore the real Turkey on a Jeep Safari down beaten tracks, forest trails and mountain paths. This is a great adventure and a fun way to see what’s beyond the tourist towns!

Family Fun

If the kids are feeling restless, what better way to let them blow off some steam than a visit to Aqua Park, the biggest water park in Turkey, while you relax in the sun – or join them on the rides!
