The popular location is under four hours from London, just over three hours from Munich, and is, home to the Mausoleum of Mausolus, one of the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World. With more than 30 major coves on the large peninsula, Bodrum is often referred to as the “Turkish Riviera,” with a Mediterranean climate and seasonal leisure travellers flocking to the destination primarily between May and October.
