Overview
The British Honorary Consulate in Bodrum provides local consular support for British nationals in one of Turkey's most upmarket coastal destinations. Bodrum, on the southwestern Aegean coast, is known for its ancient Mausoleum (one of the Seven Wonders), the medieval Castle of St Peter, whitewashed hillside architecture, boutique hotels, and lively marina nightlife. The Bodrum peninsula draws a steady stream of British visitors — both package holidaymakers and independent travellers — as well as a significant British expatriate community attracted by the lifestyle and property market. The honorary consulate operates without a public office but provides essential support for vulnerable nationals.
