Bodrum lies on the site of the important ancient city of Halikarnassos in a little bay (Bodrum Bay) to the southwest coast of Anatolia opposite the Greek island of Kos. Bodrum has all that a city of this size can offer for four season holidays. Due to the increase of permanent residents, almost all of the facilities, once only available during the summer time, are now available all year round. Bodrum is accepted as the holiday center having the best night life opportunities in Turkey.
