Where to sail to from Bodrum?

When it comes to sailing, Bodrum is an ideal starting point. You can head north towards Izmir, or east towards Fethiye and Marmaris. And remember, your sailing routes are not limited to Turkey… also consider sailing to the Greek Islands of Rhodes, Symi, and Kos.

Important! If you are planning to sail to Greece, make you have the proper border documents before arriving at a Greek port. Sometimes this process can take a long time, so it’s better to have your documents prepared and completed about two weeks before your trip.

• Marmaris: If you are interested in relaxing in the shade of pine trees on pebble beaches during the day and enjoying the exciting nightlife in the evenings - then you will definitely remember and enjoy this location. Plus the views of the city from the bay are stunning.
• Fethiye: A small but cozy town on the Turquoise Coast, located in a natural harbor. If you are a hiker and love history, be sure to drop an anchor in Fethiye Bay.
• Rhodes: Known for its legends and history of the ancient world, it attracts tourists from all over the world with its landscapes, paradisiacal beaches, and azure waters.
• Simi: A small Greek island with houses painted in bright summer colors, which also happens to be close to the Turkish coast.
• Kara-Ada: This is a special Turkish destination, as it was named the “Black Islands” due to the color of sand. It’s ideal for navigating between islands. Check-out Turguteis Beach and Camel Beach.
