Bodrum Peninsula: fabulous climate, wonderful food and rich in history

If you’ve already booked your villa holiday in Turkey this year, the chances are you’ll have booked your summer break on the Bodrum Peninsula. We have to say we can’t blame you either. Who wouldn’t be drawn to an area with wonderful beaches, a fabulous climate and wonderful food? Yet it might surprise to learn that the Bodrum Peninsula has much more to offer than just sun, sand a great party atmosphere: the Bodrum Peninsula has a rich historical past. Bodrum was the birth place of many of the region’s successful civilisations. These civilisations left their mark on the area, and traces of their past glories can be seen dotted all over the peninsula. Anyone with an interest in history will find more than enough of interest to keep them occupied throughout the course of their villa holiday break.

Kosede Restaurant and Bar in Yalikavak

Although Yalikavak has numerous excellent bars and restaurants, for a real all rounder with consistently high standards you really can’t beat the ever popular Kösede Restaurant and Bar. Perfectly situated in a central position on the seafront promenade it is ideally placed whether you are just calling in for a drink around the new outdoor bar area whilst watching the beautiful sunset and people watching or making an evening of it by dining on some of the many menu options Kosede has to offer.

Our Secret Garden Restaurant, Yalikavak

We have just returned from a hard morning’s shopping in Bodrum and although trawling through the hustle and bustle of the shopping streets and strolling around the beautiful marina and harbour front are thoroughly enjoyable occupations, by midday on a hot May morning (32 degrees actually!) as we head back home to Yalikavak thoughts are definitely turning to cold beer and warm food in a tranquil setting.
