This ancient port city on Turkey’s Aegean Coast is enjoying a surge of trendy five-star hotel openings and celebrity-
favourite beach clubs. Add to the vibrant food scene, and abundance of superyachts bobbing in the marina, and
it's easy to understand why Bodrum is referred to as 'the St. Tropez of Turkey'. Its 15th century castle on the water,
white-plastered back-streets, and honey-coloured beaches and turquoise waters enhance the charm.
