Autumn (October – November)

When the summer crowds leave, Bodrum returns to its calm and authentic charm. The sea is still warm, and prices are more affordable. It’s an excellent time for travelers who prefer tranquility while still enjoying boat trips and coastal explorations.

Winter (December – March)

Winter in Bodrum is mild compared to most European destinations. While it’s not prime beach weather, it’s perfect for cultural trips, long walks by the marina, and enjoying Bodrum’s food scene. For off-season travelers, this is when you’ll feel like you have Bodrum to yourself.
