Bodrum holidays from Tirana: the complete guide
Turkey's elegant Aegean — marinas, white beaches and nightlife — with direct charter flights from Tirana.
Updated:
If Antalya is the heart of all-inclusive, Bodrum is the more elegant, cosmopolitan side of the Turkish coast. Set on the Aegean, Bodrum offers crystal-blue water, white Greek-style villages, a luxury marina and one of the most famous nightlife scenes in the Mediterranean — all with direct charter flights from Tirana in summer.
Bodrum is ideal for couples, young travellers and anyone looking for a slightly more chic atmosphere than the classic resorts, without giving up the beach and the comfort of modern hotels.

The Bodrum season runs from late May to the end of September. July and August are the peak months — hottest, liveliest, but also the busiest. June and September offer a warm sea, excellent weather and friendlier prices.
