BODRUM AREA

A perfect fusion of ancient and modern Turkey – the Aegean coast has it all! 

The main sailing attractions are located in the Gulf of Bodrum, between Bodrum and Marmaris, but you can also reach some Greek islands easily. At a first glance, you will be amazed by the luscious green scenery perfectly combined with clear turquoise water and long white beaches. What could be better than a view of the magnificent green pine woods and brilliant beaches while cruising the sparkling Aegean Sea?

But Turkey is not all about the landscape. One of this country's greatest treasures is its rich culture and history. There are numerous ancient remains to explore, silent antique witnesses of past times that are inseparable from today’s culture. Many of them are visible from the sea, so you can admire them while cruising along the coast, or you can decide to make a stop and take a closer look. 

Once you get tired of history, you can go to Bodrum and dive into modern culture, and vibrant streets filled with stylish resorts, bars, and restaurants. One of the most popular places for concerts and parties is Bodrum Marina Yacht Club, but there are many other interesting places, such as Club Catamaran (yes, like the name says it’s a floating nightclub), beach bars along the coast, rock city bar, Irish pub, clubs that offer live energetic gigs… 

There are many things to do in Bodrum besides relaxing on its beautiful beaches and scuba diving as it is rich in cultural heritage. You can visit the Bodrum Castle, the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. The Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology is a popular tourist attraction in Bodrum. It is home to a collection of artefacts that were recovered from shipwrecks in the area, and it is a great place to learn about the history of sailing and trade in the region.

BODRUM

If you decide to sail the Aegean area of Turkey, Bodrum will be a logical starting point as it is the largest charter base of this area and most of the fleet is based here. During the summer season, Bodrum is a city that never sleeps so it can offer everything to its visitors – bars, restaurants, markets, shopping centers, beaches, museums… If you rent a boat from Bodrum, it is recommendable to come at least a day earlier so you have time to explore the city. 

Bodrum, Turkey - aerial view of marina with boats

There are several charter bases near Bodrum – marina Turgutreis (D-Marin), Yalikavak, and Milta.

Milta Marina is located in the town of Bodrum, while other marinas are on the Bodrum peninsula, but around 20 km from the city of Bodrum. The marina is one of the most elite marinas in the Mediterranean, but it is also at the center of various activities, such as historical remains and museums, Bazar, cafes, and restaurants, but there are also a lot of local artists and even an art gallery in marina… It can accommodate more than 400 boats and it provides excellent service and facilities – except for the standard power and water supplies and sanitary facilities, there is a laundry service, fuel station, full-fledged technical service, 7/24 security, and health care … 

Marina Turgutreis is an award-winning marina village with more than 500 berthing capacities, located on a beautiful Bodrum peninsula, about 20 km away from Bodrum. Turgutreis Marina is a very modern marina with excellent services and facilities – except for 24/7 water and power supply, there are a fuel station, toilets, showers, laundry facilities, parking, and a heliport. Of course, there is a beach club where you can eat and drink, but the marina is also equipped with wellness and tennis & pool, so there is a lot to do while you wait for your boat to be ready. 

Yalıkavak Marina (formerly known as Palmarina) – located on the northwest of Bodrum peninsula, about 20 km from Bodrum, this marina is in fact one of the top 10 marinas in the world. Yalıkavak Marina was the first Turkish marina awarded a 5 Gold Anchor Platinum rating by the British Yacht Harbor Association. It has room to accommodate more than 600 berths and it provides excellent service and facilities located in an idyllic location. Except for the hotel, spa & fitness center, pool, and gourmet restaurants, you can find a large open-air shopping mall there, with luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Valentino, Bvlgari, Chopard, and many others. 

The nearest airport is Bodrum and the transfer time is approximately 1 hour. If you are traveling from Bodrum, there are two kinds of direct bus transport from the Otogar center in Bodrum to Yalikavak's small otogar; a larger "municipality" bus and the small and regular Dolmuses (mini-buses). Either takes approximately thirty minutes.

WIND & SAILING CONDITIONS

The area of the Aegean coast has almost perfect sailing conditions – the sailing season starts already in April and continues until November. The temperatures reach 22 DEGREES Celsius already in spring and July and August are incredibly hot, around 40 DEGREES Celsius. However, the Aegean coast is still exposed to strong Meltemi, the winds that blow from May to October, reaching their peak in July and August. It is not recommendable to go to the open sea if you are not an experienced sailor, but still, the Gulf of Golkova is relatively sheltered and there are so many secluded bays, so if you don’t sail too far from the coast, Meltemi shouldn’t be a problem.

HOW TO GET THERE

The Aegean region is well connected with the rest of Turkey, but also with the rest of the world. The main airport for this region is the airport Milas-Bodrum in Bodrum and the transfer time is about 1 hour, depending on which marina is your starting point. For example, to reach marina Milta in Bodrum you will need about 40 minutes, as it is the closest one (about 35 km), while you will need about an hour to reach Marina Turgutreis. 

From Milas-Bodrum to Orhaniye it takes about 2 and a half hours. 

The second airport is the one in Izmir, Izmir Adnan Menderes, but it is around 250 km far from Bodrum. 

Another option is to take a ferry from the Greek island of Kos to Bodrum.
