The Aegean Sea is an integral part of the Mediterranean Sea with all the advantages and features that are attractive to tourists. This reservoir is less deep - only 200-1000 meters, due to which it is warmer and more welcoming to guests. At Bodrum, the sea is characterized by a clean, flat sandy bottom, rocky shores and well-groomed beaches.
At the same time, the Aegean Sea is salty enough to cause discomfort to the skin after swimming, so a fresh shower is required after sea baths. The coast is mostly shallow, which makes it optimal for recreation. The tides are also negligible, and visibility in the water can reach 30-50 meters - ideal for snorkeling.
In summer, the water temperature is 22-27 °, in winter it drops to 11 °. The sea begins to warm up in April, and in May you can already swim in it. The temperature reaches its maximum by the middle of summer, and begins to cool down from September. The swimming season on the Aegean Sea in Bodrum lasts from May to October, while the most favorable time to travel here is the end of August and September, when the influx of tourists decreases, the beaches become calm and free, and the water is still warm.
