What to Do in Bodrum on a Cruise – No Excursion Needed

Описание: Thinking of skipping the shore excursion in Bodrum, Turkey? You don’t need one! In this video, we show exactly what to do in Bodrum on your own from a cruise ship — including a walk along the harbour, the Ancient Theatre of Bodrum, the castle of St. Peter, the yellow submarine monument, and some great local cafés and shops.

We filmed this during our Explora Journeys sailing, arriving directly into Bodrum Cruise Port and exploring independently.

Everything here is walkable, easy, and affordable — perfect for travellers who prefer a relaxed DIY day instead of booking a tour.

💡 Tips for cruisers:

• Bring water and a hat — it gets hot.
• Carry a few lira for cafés and small shops.
• Most of Bodrum’s best sights are within a 30-minute walk.
• Perfect if you’re sailing with Explora, Princess, MSC, Viking, Celestyal, or any line visiting the Turkish coast.

We don’t often take cruise excursions unless something truly special is offered — we’d rather explore at our own pace and spend directly with the local cafés and vendors instead.
