What Are the Best Places to Stay in Bodrum?
Bodrum Town is the best all-round base — walkable to the castle, bazaar, and marina, with easy dolmuş access to the rest of the peninsula. For beach-first or resort-style trips, the near-town coves (Gümbet, Bitez, Ortakent) and north-coast villages (Türkbükü, Yalıkavak) offer better options depending on your budget and priorities.
