The nightlife on a Bodrum holiday is frenetic and varied, offering not only western-style decadent clubs but also the chance to sample local parties. Visit one of the meyhanes where the crowd joins in with the local artists, singing, dancing, eating, and drinking. There are several of these local nightclubs on the road to Konacik and Ortakent.Most of the bars in Bodrum's mile long Bar Street offer belly dancing shows, live music, and outdoor seating (often on the beach) with a view of the illuminated castle. For clubbers, the main place to be is Halikarnas, one of the biggest and swankiest open-air clubs in the world, where the entrance charge may be high. There are plenty of other clubs, even one on a catamaran that sets sail late at night and takes the party out to sea until the dawn.
