The plan is to make 2013 just as great and one place on my list is the Bodrum peninsula. Located on the West coast of Turkey, it is a popular destination, especially with British tourists.

Travel Plans for the Bodrum Peninsula Holidays in Turkey 2014
I have spent a lot of time on the Bodrum peninsula over the past ten years and still only seen half of what is on offer. This has to change.
After all, my entire goal is to visit every town, village, and city, so there is no better place to start than somewhere only an hour and a half drive from my home.

A few memorable moments are…

What I want to do in 2013
- Revisit Gumusluk in the height of summer to taste their highly recommended fish dishes
- Visit Akyarlar beach, which Forbes said, is the best in Turkey
- Hire a boat and explore the coastline for a week
- Visit the beach clubs of Turkbuyku to stalk rich people. Apparently, they hang out there and this resort is the equivalent of St Tropez
- See the Mustafa Pasha Watch tower in Ortakent
- Get drunk in Gumbet (not exciting but heard it is the popular thing to do there)
- See the old byzantine monastery in Torba
- Bitez beach is meant to be spectacular as well
- Visit picturesque Bardakci cove
- Explore the archaeological site of Pedasa
- Try to see inside the five-star Kempinski Barbaros Bay where celebrities stay. Not sure how I will achieve this because their prices are too much for my budget.
My favourite Resort on the Bodrum Peninisula

If you are thinking of Bodrum for a holiday in 2013, you cannot go wrong. There are good deals on Monarch’s Bodrum flights and you have a wide choice of resorts to stay in.
My favourite is Turgutreis for the laidback attitude and gorgeous sunsets. However, I also recommend a driving holiday of the Bodrum peninsula and hopefully will do that in 2013.
