Bodrum Day Trips

Day Trips

The most popular day trips out of Bodrum are all to neighboring islands to swim, snorkel, and sunbathe. Lovers of archeological sites should head straight for Labranda or Euromos, or, with more effort, to Iassos. The ancient nearby towns of Milas and Mugla are more interesting than their modern outskirts suggest.

Located on the roadside in Euromos, the never-completed Temple of Zeus is remarkably photogenic. History buffs can shin up the hill behind it to find yet more ancient ruins.
