Bodrum: A Must-Visit City for a Corporate Retreat in Turkey

Bodrum is located in southwestern Turkey, in the province of Mugla. It is especially known for its beaches and some of its paradise-like landscapes. It was founded in ancient times by the Greeks of Halicarnassus, and since then, its port is lined by the Gulf of Kos. Bodrum has been a tourist city since the 1960s and now has nearly 88,000 inhabitants. Homer described this city as the "country of the Eternal Blue" for the azure of the Aegean Sea in which it bathes. Today, Bodrum is a highly frequented resort, especially by the bourgeoisie of Istanbul. Its port is also a stop for many cruises, contributing to the city's lively atmosphere and marina. During the summer periods, the population of the agglomeration is multiplied by six or seven, sometimes exceeding half a million inhabitants. For the party-goers, the atmosphere is lively! There are several renowned nightclubs in the region, including: Halikamas and Catamaran. Bodrum is described as the Turkish Saint-Tropez or the new Ibiza for all these reasons. It is also possible to relax on the beach while enjoying a drink or a hookah. The beaches also come alive at night!

Activities to Enhance Your Corporate Retreat in Bodrum

The animations and other activities are also plentiful. The Grand Bazaar near the Bodrum bus station, for example, offers high-quality textile products and souvenir boxes. You can also head to the shopping center on the Gumbet road for more options. Other activities are on the agenda as well! You will have the opportunity to participate in challenges and/or cooking classes to prepare and taste Turkish specialties such as kebabs, mezes, or skewers, all accompanied by a good glass of raki. Some chefs will even offer you a guided tour before the challenge. A tour of the city will also allow you to discover the Bodrum Underwater Archaeological Museum. We also recommend visiting the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the city's must-see attractions.
