The Bodrum peninsula enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, with long dry summers, mild springs and autumns, and warm winters. Between June and September, make sure you bring lots of high-factor sun-cream. Daytime temperatures regularly top 30˚C and can hit 34˚C and higher in July and August. Thankfully, there’s zero humidity, so the heat isn’t sticky.
