For a Winter holiday with a difference, try heading to Turkey and the lovely resort of Bodrum. Located in the South of Turkey on the Bodrum Peninsula, Bodrum holidays offer you beaches and sun mixed with a little culture and history. It's also a great place to head if you're looking to spend your Christmas abroad in a place that is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and friendly residents. There are plenty of holiday operators out there who are currently offering a wealth of low cost holidays to those looking for a Christmas getaway with a difference.
Bodrum itself does not have its own beach, instead it boasts a picturesque marina. Expensive looking yachts and boats crowd the marina piers, many of them offering trips out into the seas to explore the numerous reefs and coves off the shoreline. You can book yourself in for numerous diving and snorkelling trips here but if diving isn't your thing you could also take the chance to visit the nearby Greek islands of Kos and Rhodes to make the most of your holiday.
If you prefer something a little more active Bodrum has two water parks to choose from as well as horse riding and river rafting for something a little more extreme! The white water rafting takes place on the nearby Koprulu river and often includes a BBQ - a great substitute for the traditional Xmas dinner!
The beaches around Bodrum offer crystal clear waters and walks surrounded by palm trees. You can find beaches just outside the town along the white, sandy coast and in the nearby beach towns of Gumbet and Bitez which are both excellent places for day excursions whilst on your Bodrum holiday. The beach of Bitez is shingle and provides visitors with free loungers and hammocks as well as great paddling waters and snorkelling conditions. Gumbet, on the other hand, is a little livelier and is longer at 600m. Along this stretch there are plenty of watersports to indulge your active side and a fun, young atmosphere permeates the air.
If you enjoy your holidays with a hint of culture and history, then you can visit some of Bodrum's impressive attractions such as Bodrum castle or its grand mausoleum. The castle of St. Peter is particularly impressive with its vast hall of exhibits and fortifications that remain intact since the crusades of the 15th century. You could also take a stroll to the windmills of Bodrum. Stationed at the top of the biggest hill in the town, the walk to the top to see these old crumbling structures is hard, but well worth it when you see the views of the town from the top. You will also be able to see the Greek island of Kos up here on a clear day and yachts as they return to the marina below.
