The city is also a gateway for nearby beach towns and resorts. Although more than a million tourists flock to its beaches, boutique hotels, trendy restaurants, and clubs each summer, the town of Bodrum (ancient Halicarnassus) never seems to lose its cool.

The evocative castle and the ancient ruins around town also help keep Bodrum a discerning step above the rest.
