Travel Tips from Selin, a Frequent Bodrum Visitor

Wander through Bodrum’s charming old town, explore historic landmarks, and experience its vibrant nightlife like a local.
If you want to experience Bodrum’s true charm, start your morning with a walk around Bodrum Old Town, where you’ll find whitewashed houses covered in bougainvillea, small local boutiques, and hidden courtyards. History lovers should visit Bodrum Castle, which not only offers panoramic views of the coastline but also houses the fascinating Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Looking for nightlife? Instead of the crowded main streets, explore the side alleys of Bodrum Marina, where you’ll find cozy bars with live music. A tip: Avoid the midday heat by planning indoor visits around noon and saving beach time for early morning or late afternoon.
