Bodrum is the most "tusovik" resort in Turkey, the capital of the night life of the whole country with a record density of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and discos per square kilometer. In fourteen bays of the peninsula there are settlements and hotels, and the city with the same name is built in its center. Here, unlike most other Turkish resorts, mostly German tourists do not go for a walk on beaches, but more active Frenchmen, Scandinavians and Englishmen.
Thanks to the windy weather of the Aegean Sea, this resort is the best place for fans of surfing and other water sports.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Bodrum
The main attraction of the resort is St. Peter's Castle, which divides it into two parts .Western - this is modern with all the inherent temptations of our century: luxury hotels, loud nightclubs, incendiary discos and yachts - darlings of sybarites with elastic pouches .East it is the east: the ancient part of Bodrum, offering tourists many authentic traditional markets and restaurants .In the north of the castle there is also a bazaar and a small area of old stone buildings with courtyards reminding us of those times when Turkey was not inundated with crowds of tourists from all over the world, and the concept of "ol inclusive" hardly knew at least one person in the city ±$ br >.
In the castle today is a museum of underwater archeology, where you can see the oldest in the world sunken ship "Uluburun", the gold seal of Queen Nefertiti, ancient manuscripts and much more. Working hours: Thurs-Sun 8: 30-12: 00 and 13: 00-17: 30, entrance - 10 lire. The ticket entitles you to visit all the halls of the museum, as well as the right to wander with the oppressed brow along the ancient walls and towers with loopholes of the castle, presenting yourself as a sad prisoner of some Ottoman pasha.
The tomb of Mausolus is a mausoleum, which was considered one of the seven wonders of the world (now there is an interesting museum on this place). It is located just 400 m west of the center of Bodum, on Turgutreis Caddesi Street. Previously, the tomb, built by Piteos, was at the base of 39 by 33 meters at 60 meters in height. And its stepped pyramidal roof was decorated with a chariot sculpture, which is now kept in the British Museum. Working hours: Thurs-Sun 8: 30-12: 00 and 13: 00-17: 30, entrance - 4 lire.
On the hill in the northern part of the city is a partially restored Hellenistic theater, seating 13,000 spectators. From here the sunset of the sun is clearly visible, as well as the tense but happy faces of musicians and dancers during concerts and festivals taking place here periodically. From the "antiquity" is also worth exploring the gate of Mindos, which is in the west of the intersection of Turgutreis Caddesi and Cafer Pasa Caddesi.
Other places of interest: Black Island (Kara Ada) with hot springs, beating in the grotto, which can be reached only by ship, Ortakent beach and Aquarium - a secluded cove with clear and clean water.
The main party is on the embankment near the yacht club. "Hadigari Bar and Disco", the best bar in the city, is located on Alim Bey Street. "Halikarnas Disco" (Halikarnas) - one of the largest dance halls in the world. At night, the sky above it is highlighted by laser beams, so that none of the tourists hurrying to the disco missed. According to eyewitnesses, nothing but foamy or water shows, as well as the scope of stage productions, can not be found here. But for the entrance you will have to leave 35 lir, which includes a free drink (it is claimed to be very "bojadzhenny").
