No — not if you want Bodrum to yourself. Every one of July's 31 days in our window is Busy or Packed, and the typical day is Busy. It is crowded throughout. Expect around 34 °C by day, with rain on about 2 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in Germany. Cruise ships call on 6 of the 31 days, 2 at once on Tuesday 13 July. Early July is the month's quietest stretch in Bodrum — the typical day at 77%, against 82% in late July. For similar weather with fewer people, come in May or November. The crush is at the castle gate; the quiet is at the water. The calmest day is Thursday 1 July, the busiest Tuesday 13 July.
In short, worth it for the peak buzz, if you can take the crowds.
