New York Times Calls Bodrum The Next St.-Tropez
There was an excellent article in the New York Times this weekend on the city of Bodrum, Turkey (one of our major ports of call at Aegean Sails). Here are some excerpts from the piece…
With its white-sand beaches and shop-lined streets, the city of Bodrum has long been the favorite seaside retreat in Turkey. But now this ancient fishing village, set against the blue waters of the Aegean Sea, has crashed the global party circuit.
What’s the draw? Gorgeous scenery for one. Situated on Turkey’s southwestern coast, the peninsula is a painterly tableau of white-washed stucco homes, purple bougainvilleas and olive-green hillsides. The city is also awash in historical attractions including the stumpy foundation of the Mausoleum, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
We couldn’t agree more with Seth Sherwood, the author of the article. We love this city, and hope you can join us there soon!
