While the Turkish city certainly knows how to throw a party they also have stunning beaches as well as bars and clubs.
If you’re after something a bit more chilled they also have fantastic restaurants, great history and traditional Bazaars.
For those who want to get their culture fix visit Bodrum Castle or the ancient Bodrum Amphitheatre.
Let’s not forget the mausoleum at Halicarnassus too which dates back to 350 BC.
