With a population of just 36,401, Bodrum is a quiet, touristy town - hardly the glitz and glamor some imagine. While the picturesque setting and mild climate attract sun-seekers, the persistent bureaucracy and risk of wildfires are ongoing headaches for residents. This sleepy port on Turkey's Aegean coast is best suited for those seeking a slower-paced Mediterranean lifestyle, not thrill-seekers.
