Weather and climate in Bodrum
Get an idea how the weather is all four seasons

Although known mostly as a summer holiday destination,
Bodrum is becoming increasingly popular with visitors in the other seasons. The reasons are many, but probably foremost is the chance to enjoy its attractions more intimately by avoiding the hubbub of high season. Unlike many holiday resorts Bodrum does not close its shutters at summer?s end but continues an active though less frenetic life of its own. The colorful bazaars are open on their scheduled days, temperatures pleasant and local people have more time for each visiting guest.

Spring
The scent of citrus blossoms fills the air, the hills and valleys are green with vegetation and the cool, sunny days are ideal for hiking and sightseeing. The bustle of the boatyards launching yachts is a fascinating attraction and even Children?s Day (April 23rd) festivities are creative, worthy of this cosmopolitan town.

Autumn
Autumn begins with the Bodrum Cup Traditional Wooden Yacht Regatta held annually in the third a hundred stately wooden yachts under full canvas is a sight to behold and it?s a good time to sail.
The sea is still enticingly warm for swimming and it?s a pleasure to visit historical and natural sites in the cool weather ? or to buy up bargains at end-of-season sales!

Winter
Home to a large international community, Bodrum celebrates both Christmas and New Year with gusto, revelers from all over the country making New Years. Eve a memorable "happening". Snow is unknown, but most hotels are heated to take off the chill. Camel wrestling is the prime season attraction (beginning January) and tangerine orchards resplendent with a profusion of fruit are worth the palette and brush of a painter.
