Bodrum

Gulets at anchor, seen from the castle walls.

Boats, coves, long lunches. The part of the journey where the schedule disappears.

A week where nothing starts before ten, and the captain already knows which bay is empty.

When
May to October; the sea is warmest from July to September.
From Istanbul
About an hour and a quarter by air, to Milas–Bodrum.

Around your pace, not around opening hours. With your own car and driver, a guide chosen for your interests, and one travel designer from the first call to the flight home.

Private experiences in Bodrum

Arranged privately, inside a journey. All experiences

To Gümüşlük by boat, for sunset

By private boat, around the peninsula

Gümüşlük, at the western tip of the peninsula, is where Bodrum goes to watch the sun set: fish restaurants at the water's edge, and the ruins of ancient Myndos lying just under the surface beside them.

A day on a gulet, only yours

A gulet with captain and cook, for you alone

Gulets have been built in Bodrum's boatyards for generations, and a day on one is still the best way to see this coast.

Where you might stay

Houses here we know well. Which one is right depends on who is travelling: we choose it with you.

From the journal

Bodrum’s gulets, and the coves the wind allows

Bodrum’s wooden gulets carried cargo, fishermen and sponge divers long before they carried anyone on holiday. What the boat is, why the summer wind chooses the coves, and when one day aboard is enough.

. A five-minute read.

A journey through Bodrum, made yours.

We will design the rest around you. A travel designer reads every message and replies personally.
