    Gay Bodrum

    Bodrum is one of the best destinations in Turkey for gay travelers, welcoming over a million tourists each year

    Bodrum is Turkey's glamorous Aegean coast gem where ancient history meets sophisticated beach club culture, with the impressive Castle of St. Peter overlooking yacht-filled harbors and whitewashed villages. This chic resort town attracts travelers seeking upscale nightlife, beautiful beaches, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere that feels more Mediterranean than traditionally Turkish.

    While Turkey's overall LGBTQ+ attitudes remain conservative, Bodrum's international crowd and liberal resort vibe create a relatively welcoming environment, though discretion with public displays of affection is still advised.
