Bodrum is beautiful, Bodrum is unique, but most of all Bodrum is very romantic...

1- Dinner in Gumusluk

The way to have a romantic vacation in Bodrum is through Gümüşlük and its beautiful Mimosa, of course! We are talking about that magnificent restaurant with its sparkling atmosphere, which you have definitely seen in Bodrum photos with its tables on the beach. For a romantic Bodrum vacation, you can make a reservation at Mimoza Restaurant for one evening and enjoy the romance.

2- Watch the Sunset from the Mills

Another famous place in Bodrum, Değirmenler is one of those spots that many people visit many times and never go out. We are familiar with the photographs, we know where it is, but for some reason we don't go out and watch the sunset from here. If you want to have a romantic experience on this holiday, you can take the person you love and head to the mills and watch Bodrum from a bird's eye view at the most beautiful times of the day. You can even make a small picnic basket on your way out to add to your enjoyment.

3- Picnic in Gerenkuyu Bay

Speaking of picnics, did you know that there are places in Bodrum where you can have a picnic? Although picnics are not popular for vacationers, they are indispensable for Bodrum locals! If you want to experience Bodrum like the Bodrum locals, you can prepare your picnic basket and spread out on the greenery at the picnic places near Gerenkuyu Bay. It will be an extraordinary experience for Bodrum and you will remember it for a long time! When your picnic is over, you can enjoy the cool waters of the Aegean in Gerenkuyu, one of the most beautiful bays of Bodrum.

4- A Concert Night at the Ancient Theater

One of the most special things you should experience in Bodrum is undoubtedly listening to your favorite artist live at the Ancient Theater, which fascinates with its history and view! During the summer, dozens of our favorite names from both Turkey and abroad take the stage in Bodrum. You can buy tickets for a live performance of your favorite artist by doing a good research before your vacation. You can even organize your holiday according to that concert you have been wanting to go to for a long time. Since tickets for the Ancient Theater concerts sell out very quickly, it is useful to buy your ticket before you go on vacation.

5- Go Back to Your Childhood at Bitez Ice Cream Parlor!

Do you like ice cream? Who doesn't! Bodrum tangerine, gummy or vanilla... Don't end your vacation without stopping by Bitez Ice Cream Shop, which brings together a wide variety of ice cream.

7- Visit Bodrum's Unique Bays

Of course, we couldn't leave Bodrum bays out of the list of 10 romantic things to do in Bodrum! Visiting the bays of Bodrum, each of which offers exquisite views and fascinates with its glassy clarity, can add both fun and romance to your vacation. For example, you can enjoy swimming together in the quiet bays and sunbathing on the pristine beaches... There are many boat tour options departing from both the center of Bodrum and the towns. Depending on the number of people and the bays they visit, you can choose the one that suits you best and explore many bays at once. However, if you want to customize your tour a little more, you can choose yacht tours organized for small groups. If you want it to be a little more romantic, you can even rent a yacht and choose your own route. Some yachts even make special organizations in line with your wishes, let us tell you!  

8- A Night Against Bodrum Castle

If we ask "What is the most beautiful view of Bodrum?", one of the 100 popular answers would definitely be Bodrum Castle! There are many restaurant options overlooking Bodrum Castle, which offers a sparkling view to Bodrum visitors, especially in the evenings. You can make a reservation at one of these restaurants for one night and have a romantic dinner. We especially recommend fish restaurants serving fresh fish from the Aegean Sea and delicious appetizers, but if you are not good with fish, let us remind you that there are many restaurant alternatives serving international cuisine.

9- Explore Sandima Village

Of course, we have a suggestion for those who love history and do not return from vacation without tracing the traces of the past! How about visiting Sandima Village in Yalikavak, which has a history of over 600 years? The village, which attracts attention as one of the first settlements of Bodrum, has only 2 inhabitants today. The village, which was a Turkmen village in the past, became almost empty after its inhabitants migrated to Yalikavak with the changing times, is actually one of the most beautiful spots in Bodrum... If you like to discover new places together, you can visit this special village and make an impressive discovery in Bodrum's history. What you will see in the village is not just empty houses, of course! For example, you can visit the art house founded by 2 people living in Sandima. There are many special paintings and sculptures on display in Nuris Art House. If you wish, you can support these two Sandima village painters and sculptors by purchasing a special piece and return with an unforgettable memory of your vacation.

10- Visit Zeki Müren House

Zeki Müren, one of the most important names of Turkish Art Music and known as the 'Sun of Art', probably has a love for Bodrum. Zeki Müren spent his last years living a quiet life in Bodrum before his death, and his house here was opened as a museum for his fans in 2000. If you are one of the couples who admire Zeki Müren, you can visit this special museum. There is a statue of Zeki Müren in the front garden of the house and his costumes, special jewelry, awards and records are exhibited upstairs.
