Bodrum City

Experience Bodrum Through its Delicious Cuisine: Bodrum’s cuisine features fresh seafood and traditional recipes handed down through the generations, and no visit is complete without a few tastings! As we explore, you’ll learn the role Bodrum’s home-made street food plays in the town’s local culture. We’ll stop four or so times along the way to sample delicious street food such as baklava (layered filo pastry filled with nuts, and sweetened with syrup or honey), Bodrum special doner (a delicious kebab with marinated seasonal vegetables and Bodrum’s secret sauce), and midye tava (crispy mussel snacks on a stick. With local fisherman bringing in new hauls of fresh seafood every day, you’re spoiled for choice! We’ll sample traditional baked goods at a local patisserie dating back to 1876, and savor a steaming cup of Turkish tea or coffee. And of course, the highest quality Turkish Delight also features on our home-made and hand-made tasting menu.
