Yes, I have been to the Bodrum peninsula several times. I know Turkish people who have a vacation house there. It is a truly beautiful area with white cube houses, clear blue sea, lots of flowers, ...
In the town of Bodrum you can find many famous discos and bars, but there is also a castle with a museum for underwater archeology.
Around the peninsula, there are many nice small towns with nice hotels on the seashore. It is more calm there than in the town, the beaches are much better, and Bodrum is easy to reach by public transportation.
Inside the peninsula, there are nice and traditional villages.
Ancient archeological sites (e.g. Ephesos, Pamukkale, Milet, Priene, Didyma, Euromos, Herakleia,...) are easy to reach. There are also tour operators in Bodrum who offer tours to these sites. These tours arenÂ´t very expensive, and often, lunch is included as well as a stop on a carpet manufactory.

Furthermore, I have been to Istanbul. There is a lot to see (Palaces, Mosques,...) and do (shopping, cruise on the Bosporus,...)

In general:
* Turkish cuisine is excellent
* it is rather cheap (from the European point of view)
* there are lots of historic (archeological, osmanian sights)
* there are also traditional villages (often very picturesque)
* the people are friendly and helpful

In summer, the vacation spots are a bit overcrowded, sometimes and it is rather hot.
Best travel time is May, June and September. This time is also better for excursions to the countryside or to excavations.

I havent been there, but its beautiful and the shopping there is cheap. I was supposed to go last summer but there were bombings going on every weekend, so I decided to stay in Greece. Check out the Department Of State Travel website for any warnings they may have for US citizens.

It all depends on what your expectations are.

Turkey has some of the most beautiful coastlines and amazing vacation spots. I can also go on and on about its history and historical spots. I would be glad to answer any questions you may have ... simply tell me what you want out of your vacation.

Yes, Antalya is a nice place to go and many european visit there, the suitable time is just summer. You can enjoy the beautiful med. sea, swimming, disco and . . ., and it is almost cheap. Try it.

As an American? I wouldn't. Westerners in Muslim countries face a dangerous time in the current political situation..in my opinion.
