Notable Architecture

Architecture of Bodrum is sustained in a colonial style. There are no huge hotels and high rise buildings: two, maximum three floors. The color of houses only white, it is a demand of the authorities. Therefore, Bodrum is truly "a white city". This style is called Greek or Moorish. Architecture is really very similar to the Greek; it is explained by the proximity to this wonderful country. On the Bodrum peninsula is perfectly seen the Greek island of Kos, one can even distinguish the houses and cars traveling the roads of the island.

Each of the twelve bays has its own "marina" (berth), along which are shops and cozy restaurants. Most of the cheap hotels of Bodrum are also designed in such a manner. They are comfortable and have all modern facilities. These accommodations are done in the Greek style. They are completely in line with its level, and even much better, as lots of such hotels have an additional set of service.
