Day 9: Bodrum.
Overnight – Mandarin Oriental
You are at leisure on this day to explore as you please, or to enjoy your incredible resort and views. Your Guide and vehicle are available to you for your chosen 8-hour span on each day. Options on these days include:
Multiple Water Activities and Experiences.
Scenic drives along the picturesque coastline of the Bodrum Peninsula offers panoramic vistas of azure waters lapping against rugged cliffs. You can pause to explore the charming villages that dot the countryside, each offering a glimpse into the timeless traditions and hospitality of rural Turkey. There are opportunities to engage with local artisans and craftsmen, whose skillful hands breathe life into age-old traditions, from pottery making to traditional Turkish carpet weaving.
Temple of Apollo. A roughly 2 hour long beautiful drive, parts of which run along the coast and have views of multiple Greek islands will bring you to the ancient city of Didim, which is a popular resort town where many well-off Turks own ocean view homes and condos. You will visit the remains of the incredible Temple of Apollo in Didim. This was the 4th largest Temple in the ancient Greek Empire and its oracle was considered second only to the oracle at Delphi, and was consulted by Greek Emperors such as Alexander and various Caesars from the Roman Empire. The Temple was originally more than twice the size of the Parthenon and what remains today is still extremely impressive. We recommend lunch at the Topkapi Restaurant in Didim with its sea views and delicious food.
