The service will launch just in time for the school holidays
EasyJet has announced a new route from Manchester Airport to a popular holiday destination in Turkiye with flights starting this summer. The airline will operate a twice weekly service from Manchester to Bodrum, starting from May 16.
Located on the Bodrum Peninsula on Turkiye’s southwest coast – known as the Turkish Riviera – the city boasts beautiful beaches and gorgeous turquoise waters. It’s also a place rich in history and one of its main attractions is Bodrum Castle, which was built in the 15th century.
The castle contains the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, where you can see shipwrecks dating back more than 3,000 years ago. Another must-see for history fans is the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Holidaymakers can enjoy boat trips around the peninsula, stopping off for a swim and snorkel along the way. Or simply spend the day relaxing on the beach.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said: “We’re delighted to be launching a new route between Manchester and Bodrum for the summer. This new service will offer our customers in the North West even more great-value choice when it comes to flying to Turkiye,a favourite with UK holidaymakers, and we can’t wait to welcome them on board.”
EasyJet will offer flights on Thursdays and Sundays throughout the summer. Flights are now available to book at easyJet.com and via the mobile app starting from $42.
