Exploring Bodrum, Turkey: the ancient city has become a place for purchasing modern luxury.

Bodrum, located in Turkey, has recently been recognized as a destination for luxury living and "champagne society". With its beaches, bright blue water and picturesque hilly scenery, this resort attracts comparisons to Saint-Tropez and the Amalfi Coast. What was once a simple fishing harbor is now home to exclusive beach clubs and marinas for megayachts. In recent years, several luxury brands including Ritz-Carlton, Mandarin Oriental and Edition, as well as designers such as Dior, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana, have chosen this city on Turkey's southern coast for their representative offices.

According to Michana Sadik of Best Invest, the luxury real estate market in Bodrum is experiencing exceptional growth. Demand for luxury properties is growing from both local and foreign buyers, especially from the UK, Germany and other European countries. With the increase in tourism and the development of the rental market, the demand for luxury real estate will only increase.

The real estate market in Bodrum is diverse and offers properties to suit all tastes and budgets. Numerous new construction projects offer modern designs with clean lines, open floor plans and stylish exteriors. Most homes are located on elevated lots and have beautiful ocean views.

Many new luxury villas offer hotel amenities such as restaurants, spas and sea cab services.

Bodrum has a special appeal due to its traditional architecture and ancient ruins. One of the most famous ruins is the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Bodrum is also known for its yachting infrastructure. Yalikavak Marina welcomes superyachts up to 140 meters long from all over the world and offers luxury stores such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Dior.

Bodrum has good transportation connections. Milas-Bodrum Airport is only 36 kilometers northeast of the city. Direct flights from major European cities are available, such as a four-hour flight from London and a three-hour flight from Berlin. From Istanbul, it can be reached in just one hour.

Overall, with a growing tourist flow, a thriving cultural scene and a burgeoning real estate market, Bodrum is just beginning its journey as a luxury resort town.
