Bodrum Holiday Package 4 Days / 3 Nights from Istanbul with Flights

Bodrum holiday package, 4 days and 3 nights with flights: the key facts

This is a beach holiday in Bodrum with flights from Istanbul and back. You stay three nights at a resort hotel with its own private beach, an outdoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre. Day 1 is the flight and free time. Day 2 offers a Bodrum city tour with the castle, the remains of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the marina. Day 3 offers a full-day peninsula trip to the ruins of Myndos and the fishing village of Gumusluk. Day 4 is a free morning and the flight back.

It suits couples and families who want rest first and some history on the side, with the flights and transfers arranged for them. The price is from $1,455 per person. Return flights, all transfers, three nights with breakfast, professional guiding and entrance fees are included. Lunch, dinner and optional activities are not.

Are the city tour and the peninsula tour included?

This is the main point to check. The inclusions list "professional guiding" and "entrance fees", which suggests the guided days are covered. But the itinerary marks both the Day 2 city tour and the Day 3 peninsula tour as optional, and optional tours are listed as not included. The page does not give a price for either tour. Ask us to state in writing whether both guided days and their tickets are in the $1,455, or what they cost if they are not. Our budget 4-day Bodrum holiday follows the same plan for $1,300, so compare what each one covers.

Which hotel is it?

The page says you stay at "our selected hotel", a resort with a private beach, an outdoor pool, restaurants, a spa and a fitness centre. It does not give the hotel name, star rating or which bay of Bodrum it is on. Breakfast is included every morning, but lunch and dinner are not, so the hotel's own restaurants will be a large part of your budget unless you eat out. Ask us for the hotel name and room type in your written plan, and check the location on a map before you pay. Spa treatments are not mentioned as included.

How do the flights and transfers work?

Both domestic flights are included. Our team meets you at Bodrum Airport on Day 1 and takes you to the hotel, and on Day 4 you are taken back to Bodrum Airport for the flight to Istanbul. The page does not give flight times or say which Istanbul airport is used, and it does not mention a pick-up from your Istanbul hotel. Ask us to confirm all of this in writing, because the flight times decide how much of Day 1 and Day 4 you actually spend by the sea.

What do we see on the Bodrum city tour?

The Day 2 tour covers Bodrum Castle, the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the marina, with its markets and boutiques. The page lists the "Castle of St. Peter" as a separate stop, but Bodrum Castle and the Castle of St. Peter are the same fortress, so expect one castle visit. After the tour the afternoon is free for the beach or for optional extras such as boat trips or water sports. Wear good shoes for the castle, which has steps and uneven stone paths.

What is the Myndos and Gumusluk day like?

Day 3 is a full day on the Bodrum Peninsula. You visit the ruins of Myndos and its city gate, part of the old defensive walls, then the fishing village of Gumusluk, known for its waterfront and the remains of the ancient city in the water. The page says lunch is at a local restaurant during the trip, but lunch is also listed as not included. Ask us whether this lunch is paid for, and bring cash or a card for it. You are back at the hotel in the evening.

Is the boat tour included?

No. The page lists a group Bodrum boat tour for $45 and a private Bodrum boat tour for $315 as optional extras. Both are separate from the city and peninsula tours. The free afternoon on Day 2 or the free time on Day 1 are the obvious slots for a boat day, but ask us which day suits the boat schedule. If you want more time on the water, browse our Bodrum tours and blue cruise tours.

What should we pack?

Pack for the beach and for two days of walking: swimwear, a towel or beach cover, sun cream, a hat and comfortable shoes for the castle and the Myndos ruins. Smart-casual clothes are fine for the hotel restaurants in the evening. The itinerary does not include any mosque visit, so there is no special dress code. Carry your passport or ID for the domestic flights. Bring a light layer for the evenings by the sea and for air-conditioned rooms and vehicles.

Can we add nights or combine Bodrum with other places?

The page does not list extra nights for this package, but you can ask us to quote one in writing. If you want a shorter break, the 2-day Bodrum tour from Istanbul costs from $845. If you would rather see more of the coast, the Bodrum, Fethiye, Antalya and Konya tour from $1,455 and the 5-day Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale and Bodrum tour from $1,795 move between towns. Our multi-city packages list more options.
