Bodrum After Dark

Bar Street, once

Bodrum’s loudest hundred metres — worth seeing, once.

Why do it?

Bodrum town’s Cumhuriyet Caddesi — Bar Street — is a strip of bars and clubs along the eastern bay, and it is the thing most people mean when they say Bodrum nightlife. It is loud, packed in season, and unapologetically for visitors.

The Smileys Take

Go once, knowing exactly what it is: a tourist strip, at tourist prices, with the music competing bar to bar. Seeing it is part of seeing Bodrum. Then find out where people who live here go instead — that is a better night and nobody can tell you it from a page.

Good to know

  • It is seasonal — out of summer much of the strip is shut.
  • Check prices before ordering; they climb with the season.
