Holidays to Bodrum are just perfect for those savvy travellers looking for a spot of culture to go with their sun lounging and cocktail drinking. Located just where the Mediterranean meets the Aegean, the beaches found on its coastline are picture-book perfect. The secluded bays of Bitez and Gümbet, the even more low key Torba and Gundogan, and plenty more besides will all knock your socks off. And don't forget that this part of the world never gets too hot, even in the height of the summer, with a max temperature then of barely 35 degrees. More and more people are flocking each year on superb Bodrum holidays.

But it's not just beaches on your quality Bodrum holidays, as we said. How does a stunning ancient mausoleum sound as a way to spend a pleasant afternoon out of the sun? Called Halicarnassus, this really is a wonder and is well worth popping in. There's also a medieval castle called St. Peter's that'll be a firm favourite of the kids, and then there's the annual Cup Race of Bodrum, a yacht race that brings the locals and visitors alike flooding out in support.

But best of all is that your Bodrum all inclusive holiday can be as activity-full or as activity-light as you want it. If you want nothing more than to take advantage of the wine and food all available as part of your deal, then this is a perfect place to do just that. As with so many of Turkey's resorts, the nightlife here is absolutely spot on. Most people will begin the evening in their hotel restaurant, or perhaps in a traditional local restaurant, savouring anything from fresh lamb kebabs to a mix of mezes, or even a piece of fish fresh from the harbour.
