Milta Bodrum Marina
Introduction
Milta Bodrum Marina sits in the heart of Bodrum town, in the bay once known as Halicarnassus, within walking distance of the castle and the Mausoleum — one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
What You'll Feel
You berth beneath the Castle of St. Peter, with the white cubes of Bodrum climbing the hillsides around the bay and the old town's bars and bazaar a short walk from the pontoons.
What Makes It Unique
Few marinas place you this close to a wonder of the world: the Mausoleum, the castle, the ancient theatre, the Myndos gate and the city walls are all within a walk of the berths.
The Story Behind
Founded in 1976 as the state-run "Turban Bodrum Marina" for 125 yachts, it was privatized in 1997, acquired by Doğan Holding and fully renovated in 1999, growing to today's 425 sea berths.
Local Life
The marina is woven into Bodrum's life — the restaurants, market and nightlife of the old town run right up to the quay.
Best Time to Visit
Bodrum summers run on the meltemi, strongest in the afternoon; July–August are busiest, spring and autumn calmer for wind and town alike.
