Get to Know Bodrum and What It Offers for Expats

Bodrum is one of the most fascinating cities imaginable — brimming with history and culture, but also offering a wealth of sporting and adventurous pursuits, and a vibrant nightlife. Home to the Mausoleum of Mausolus, Bodrum is well recognized as a hugely important site of historical interest — major attractions include Bodrum Castle and a number of museums. These historical sites, combined with a favorable Mediterranean climate, make Bodrum a very popular tourist destination. In fact, the tourism industry is the lifeblood of the city, and many expats moving to the area do so in order to work in the hotel, restaurant, and leisure industries which have grown in the city thanks to overseas visitors. So, if you want to find out more about the work available, the best way to find an apartment in the city, or just want to know a bit more about the history of Bodrum, our members will help answer your questions quickly and honestly.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Berlin or Prague, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Become a Part of Our Network for Expats in Bodrum

Members of our community come from all over the world — from Austria to Australia, and all abide by our guiding principles of trust, polite behavior, and a welcoming attitude. You can rest assured that you can discuss your questions and confusions in a safe and friendly environment. As well as a thriving online community, InterNations also organizes regular social events, giving you the chance to meet other expats from around the world. You can also join groups for expats with similar interests, whether that's hockey or hiking, learning a language or going sailing, there will be a number of ways you can continue your hobbies and make new friends. Many expats agree this kind of activity is vital to a successful resettlement in a new city, and you never know who you might meet!
