Homer's description of
Bodrum as "The land of eternal blue" and the words of another
resident of Bodrum, Cevat Þakir, who said "The heavenly bliss of
life in Bodrum is better than any eternal bliss that may await us"
were not without foundation in reality. Throughout history Bodrum,
known as Halikarnassos in ancient times, has always been fought
over and people have been unwilling to share its beauty with
others.
Built on a peninsula formed by the meeting of the eastern and
western harbors, Bodrum, with its narrow streets winding down to
the sea, is famous for its castle, its world-renowned yachts, its
shipyards and the dazzling white houses and tombs lining the
shores of its two harbors.
Today Bodrum has everything that one would expect to find in a
vacation getaway. It is an important tourist center in both winter
and summer. Bodrum has what it takes to make everyone feel at home,
from the rich yacht owners who come from around the globe to the
penny-counting tourists who just wants a reasonable room so that
he can stretch his budget to make his vacation last all summer. |
