Glittering seas and unbridled debauchery — it’s the heady summer cocktail many of us are after and for 2024, Bodrum is the place to get it. This chunk of the Turkish coastline, trimmed with luxury resorts by the turquoise Aegean Sea, has already proven as much, well before the season has entered full swing.
All the signifiers are there: in April, Roman Abramovich’s Solaris superyacht was spotted anchoring at the Yalikavak Marina, and last month Kate Moss touched down for the first Med Bodrum festival, where she was pictured arm-in-arm with headline act Skip Marley, the grandson of Bob. They join a long list of Bodrum fans, from Cleopatra and Mark Antony — who were enchanted by the landscape and visited on their way to Rome — through to Mick Jagger, Princess Margaret and Michael Caine, who made it a zinging spot for late Seventies revelry.
