Local time: GMT+2. Language:

Turkish; communication in English is also possible, more and more frequently in Polish.:

Currency: Turkish lira (TRY); 1 EUR = approx. 18 TRY.

Flight duration: Poland–Bodrum-Milas: approx. 2h 45 min.

Transport: all destinations are terrifically connected with the centre of Bodrum. Dolmus, local mini-buses travel to the north. Then you can travel around in taxis. Return during the night from Bodrum to Bitez is approx. 10 EUR, to Torba – approx. 12 EUR, to Turgutreis and Yalikavak – approx. 20 EUR. Price of fare should be established before the ride.

Prices: Bodrum is the most popular entertainment centre in the region, it isn't one of the inexpensive places. The price of beer in a pub is approx. 2.5 EUR, an alcoholic drink - 8 EUR. Often in pubs where live music is played, entry is free, but the first drink, regardless of what you order, will cost approx. 8 EUR. So we don't recommend ordering mineral water. Aside from two discos in the centre, entry to others is free. Those two are Halikarnas, where the price depends on the day of the week and season, and Katamaran, where you pay approx. 15 EUR to enter.

All Inclusive: in Türkiye the All Inclusive offer covers only meals and local drinks in limited hours, usually from 10.00 to 23.00. Any extra benefits like sports, safety deposit boxes, massages, saunas, and even the mini-bar are additionally payable. It is worth knowing that aside from imported drinks, freshly squeezed juices and Turkish coffee are also additionally payable.

Beaches: the terrains where Bodrum lies are of volcanic origin, therefore, the sand is not as light here as e.g. in Antalya. Besides, due to the mountainous terrain, the beaches are limited, they are located in bays and are generally narrow, sand and shingle. Thanks to this, the water here is very clean, but there aren't any wide, sandy beaches. Entry to the beach is free, you only pay for sunbeds and umbrellas (approx. 1.5 EUR/person).

Local trips: organised by local tourist agencies on terms specified by them. There is a possibility that, if there is not enough participants, a trip may be canceled.
