Briefly 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 travellers. 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.
Lacking of a port, only 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. Since March 2008, the time the Port launched its operations, cruise vessels are 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 the Milas International Airport and few minute walk to the city centre. The Port has the capacity to service at least two large cruise vessels at a time together with three motorboats.

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), totalling to 300m (984ft). In addition to the quays, the Port harbours 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 and.
