Marinas in Bodrum

This city belongs to the Greek culture, although it is not the territory of Greece. Accordingly, its architecture and customs a bit different from other Turkish towns. There is still a Greek identity, which attracts many tourists.

 

Bodrum cannot boast of a vibrant nightlife and plenty of entertainment, but you can still find luxurious all-inclusive hotels there. The thing is that they are scattered in different parts of the city and even its outskirts, and not grouped in the center. By the way, in the center, there are lower class hotels and hostels, where you can rent a room at quite reasonable prices.

 

The nature in this place is so amazing. To admire the unique turquoise sunsets in Bodrum is such the fascinating occupation that it is difficult to describe. And if you add to it small cozy houses with evening lights and a very beautiful sea, then the picture becomes magical.

Full recommendation. Great service & support. We chartered a Beneteau 45 in Athens for our trip around Peloponnes. Great service and perfect customer support from beginning to the end. Due to corona we had to postpone our trip - Sailica managed all the communication with the charter agency and negotiated a great new deal for us. This was already the 2nd time we charted with Sailica and it won't be the last time. Full recommendation

I took Dufour Grand Large 560 at Croatia using online yacht rental service sailica.com It's easy to use their mobile app with fair prices and enough quantity of boats which suits to my parameters. Their managers assisted me through whole communication with charter company. It was pleasant to receive a small gift – free of charge transfer from airport to marina. We didn't request it and appreciate their overexpected level of service.

Amazing 1 week in Turkey! I sailed with Sailica on a tour in the gulf of Fethiye in Turkey. Overall it was a great experience and a great crew, even if I did not know them before. The area is amazingly beautiful and if you go in April you can avoid the crowds. The skipper was very proficient and knew what he was doing. Highly recommended!

Great company! The guys answered all our questions which were very important since it was our first sailing experience. Moreover, they advised us not only on a charter but also on the tour itself. This was not the responsibility of the company, but we needed help and the company managers helped us for free. I highly recommend the team. The guys are really reliable, proactive and customer-oriented.
