It's the new Saint-Tropez of the Mediterranean and you can eat there for a few euros.

This destination offers a dream break in the summer, especially since the prices are particularly attractive.

In the heart of the Mediterranean, a destination is emerging that rivals the aura and prestige of Saint-Tropez, but without the exorbitant price tag, especially in the summer. This gem, nestled in the eastern Mediterranean, is emerging as the perfect alternative to the French Riviera for those looking to savor la dolce vita without breaking the bank.

With mild temperatures from spring onwards and very little rainfall in summer, it proves to be a sunny and affordable destination that rivals the glamour of Saint-Tropez. Visitors find breathtaking views and a variety of activities, making it the ideal refuge for those seeking turquoise seas, sandy beaches, and a touch of luxury at a bargain price.

That destination is Bodrum. Its peninsula is crowned by a picturesque coastline, adorned with hotel complexes offering direct access to the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea that have given this burgeoning Turkish resort its charm. A stroll through the modern marina offers a glimpse of the boats of the prestigious Yacht Club. Unlike Saint-Tropez, where splendor can often come at prohibitive costs, Bodrum offers a taste of excellence without breaking the bank. It's this winning combination that attracts an international crowd in search of natural beauty, relaxation, and authenticity.

Don't be fooled by the tourist complexes that have sprung up in recent years; Bodrum retains all its charm, epitomized by the magnificent St. Peter's Castle. From its ramparts, accessible to visitors, it offers superb views of the city and Bodrum Bay. The Museum of Underwater Archaeology and the remains of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus are also not to be missed, as is the spectacular ancient theater.

You'll also savor the best of Mediterranean flavors with mezze dishes that will delight many palates at a modest price. Whether you're lounging on sun-drenched beaches, exploring turquoise waters on a budget-friendly boat trip, or discovering Turkish hospitality through local restaurants and markets or its nearby historical sites, Bodrum has something to appeal to all visitors. Perhaps this is why Bodrum is fast becoming the new Saint-Tropez of the Mediterranean...
