5 daysBodrum
Bodrum and the Aegean in 5 Days
The castle, the bays, a boat trip and Yalıkavak marina — the peninsula's four faces spread across five days.
Day by day
- 1Day
Arrival and welcome
Met at Bodrum–Milas airport and taken to your hotel; 30–50 minutes depending on where you are on the peninsula. Free time in your bay in the evening.
- 2Day
Bodrum centre and the castle
Bodrum Castle and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, harbour views from the ancient theatre, then free time in the bazaar. An evening walk along the marina.
- 3Day
Boat trip
The day's centre is the water: swim stops in three or four bays and lunch on board. With a private charter the timing and route are yours and family privacy is kept.
- 4Day
Yalıkavak and the northern bays
Yalıkavak marina, Türkbükü and Gündoğan — the calmest end of the peninsula. You can move on to Turgutreis for the sunset. Because the peninsula is small, all of this fits in one day.
- 5Day
A free day and departure
A last morning in the bay or shopping in the bazaar depending on your flight, then the transfer to the airport.
What the programme includes
- Airport meet-and-greet and return transfer
- Private air-conditioned vehicle and fuel
- Arabic-speaking guide or driver
- An itinerary built around prayer times
- A free day outside the programme
Common questions about this programme
Because the peninsula is forty minutes end to end, the programme works from any bay. For quiet and a marina, Yalıkavak or Türkbükü; for proximity to the centre and some life, Gümbet and Bitez; for families and sunsets, Turgutreis. Tell us where you are staying and we reorder the days around it.
Plainly: we would not recommend it. From November to April much of the peninsula closes; hotels, restaurants and boats thin out sharply and the sea is not warm enough to swim anyway. This programme is built for May to October. If you want the sea in Türkiye in winter, Antalya is the better answer.
Yes, and it is often requested: four days in Istanbul, then five in Bodrum on a short domestic flight. City followed by sea keeps the trip from becoming monotonous. When we combine them we line up the flights and handle the meet-and-greet in both cities.
The programme bends to you
These are a starting point. You can add a day, drop a stop or reorder the route — the tours are private, so you never have to fit a group's schedule.
