LOCATION OF THE PORT IN
BODRUM RESORT
Bodrum Cruise Port
Situated on a beautiful
peninsula, Bodrum, in these days
is better known as the "New St.
Tropez" and is one of the most
attractive coastal cities of
Turkey both among Turkish and
foreign travelers. Bodrum
exceeds the expectations when
you face the world famous St.
Peter's Castle or when you
discover enchanting villages
with houses painted in white and
trimmed with purple
bougainvillea together with
miles of sandy beaches and ideal
locations for water sports. All
these assets are representing
just a small portrait of Bodrum.
In the past Bodrum lacked a
port, so only a few cruise lines
could enjoy the natural and
archaeological sources of Bodrum
by staying at anchorage and in
the place where now the great
port complex stands only a
deserted small hill was facing
the blue water of Bodrum. In
March 2008 the Cruise Port
launched its operations, and
cruise vessels are now welcomed
by a full ISPS-certified port in
Bodrum Cruise Port and have the
possibility to enjoy the
treasures of the region in a
safe and secure environment.
Bodrum Cruise Port is located 36
km from Milas International
Airport and a few minute walk to
the city center. The Port has
the capacity to serve at least
two large cruise vessels at a
time together with three
motorboats. The newly built pier
has a length of 240 meters
(787.4ft) on the longer side and
220 meters (721.8ft) on the
inside, with a width of 15
meters (49.2ft). The draft of is
-9 meters in the shallow part of
the pier and -22 (72.2ft) meters
at the end of the pier.
Other than the cruise pier, the
Port has various quays ranging
from 3m (9.8ft) to 6m (19.7ft),
totaling to 300m (984ft). In
addition to the quays, the Port
harbors three ferryboat ramps.
The Port has a total area of
22,000 m² (236,800ft²) with a
beautiful terminal building in
total harmony with the pure blue
Mediterranean and Aegean blue
waters meeting and mixing here
in the city of Bodrum but also
the whitewashed houses, which
look like a dusting of new snow
on the mountaintop.
The terminal building is housing
all the customs offices,
duty-free area, restaurant and
cafeteria. Other buildings will
comprise in the near future
other restaurants, cafes and
brand new shops and boutiques.
