Nestled on the sparkling coast of the Aegean Sea, Bodrum is a sun-soaked haven where turquoise waters, golden beaches, and a vibrant boat culture come together in perfect harmony. Whether you're sailing past hidden coves or lounging on the deck of a gulet, life here moves to the rhythm of the waves—often with a bowl of fresh, local mandarins at your side, a sweet nod to Bodrum’s citrus-filled hills.

Beyond its breathtaking shoreline, Bodrum is rich with charm and tradition. The region is known for its fragrant mandarin orchards, a sweet legacy that still perfumes the air each spring. These citrus groves tell the story of a simpler time—one that's still alive in the town's warm hospitality and laid-back lifestyle.

From Japan to the Aegean, the satsuma is a global favorite with a distinctly local twist.

Sweet, seedless, and easy to peel, satsumas are a local favorite in Bodrum. Grown in the region’s sunny, coastal climate, these mandarins are harvested every autumn and fill the air with their fresh, citrusy scent.

​

Originally from Japan—where they’re still hugely popular—satsumas found a perfect second home in Bodrum’s fertile groves. Today, they’re a delicious part of the local culture, often served fresh on boat tours or picked straight from the tree.

Come to Bodrum for the boats, stay for the beaches, and fall in love with the land that grows mandarins and memories alike.
