Bodrum has long been a favourite of the rich and elite urban Turkish tourists but holds many surprises and back waters still undisturbed by tourism.
The town itself is dominated by the imposing Castle of St Peter and the two semi-circle bays that it separates are covered with white, sugar cube houses and palm lined streets. The town itself has been successful in holding onto its original charm, unlike other major resorts on this coastline.
Heading out onto the peninsula, where most of our properties are located, leads you into a different world, where time has stood still, and modern life has not yet taken its toll. On your travels you will see the wool yarns hanging out to dry on balconies, used for making the famous Milas carpets notorious for its shades of olive, aubergine and tobacco dyes, the original, beehive shaped ovens used for baking village bread and cows finding their own way home for milking each evening. Life goes on blissfully unaware of modern life downtown in Bodrum
The range of houses in this area are more diverse ranging from modern and purpose built to houses of character, renovated and retaining, original charm, which ever you choose, all are well equipped with all creature comforts allowing you the best of both worlds- the close proximity of Bodrum and its excellent dining, nightlife, shopping and historic sights and the many beaches, bays and back waters of the peninsula and inland towns and villages.
The combination of cosmopolitan Bodrum and the simplicity and charm of the nearby villages makes this an excellent choice of holiday for all.
