The town attracts a sophisticated crowd mixing with yacht owners and beach club visitors. Direct flights from London take about 4 hours to Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV).
The Castle of St. Peter, built by the Knights Hospitaller, now houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Bodrum's nightlife centres on the waterfront bars of Cumhuriyet Street. Beach clubs at Gümbet and Bitez offer day-long lounging. Luxury resorts line the peninsula from Yalıkavak to Türkbükü.
