Saturday, October 17, 2026 · Bodrum, Türkiye
A destination wedding on the Aegean
From high school prom to standing on the Aegean coast to make it official, with the people we love the most. Thank you for being part of our story for the last 8 years, for your blessings, for your warmth.
You've watched us grow up together. Now come watch us begin the next chapter, somewhere worthy of the occasion.
The Aegean, where it all comes together
"Join us in Bodrum, The METT, for the occasion."
The METT Hotel & Beach Resort sits in its own private cove just outside Bodrum town, contemporary Aegean architecture in local stone and light wood, a private sandy beach, and terraces looking across the water toward the floodlit Bodrum Castle.
The celebration centres on Attiko, the resort's rooftop terrace above the bay, ceremony at 5:00 as the light turns gold, then dinner, dancing and a party that carries into the night.
Bodrum marina, ten minutes from the resort
The METT, wrapped around its own private cove just outside Bodrum town.
Everything happens in one place, from the vows to the last dance.
Meet us on the rooftop, golden hour over the bay.
An open-air ceremony at the "sofreh aghd", vows exchanged as the light turns gold.
A long dinner under the open sky, into the night.
Dancing, chatting, celebrating until the small hours.
The nearest airport is Milas–Bodrum (BJV), about 45 minutes from the resort. One thing to know: by mid-October the seasonal direct flights into Bodrum have finished, so everyone connects through Türkiye. It is easy, and you have three good ways in.
Land in Istanbul, at Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), then take a short connecting flight down to Milas–Bodrum Airport (BJV), about 1 hour 20 in the air. Flights run many times a day from both Istanbul airports until late evening, and connections of around two hours work comfortably on a single ticket.
Arriving late at night? Stay over and fly down in the morning. Or better: give yourself a day or two in Istanbul first and make a proper trip of it.
Land in Izmir at Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB), a large and well connected Aegean gateway, then drive about 2.5 to 3.5 hours down the coast to Bodrum. The road passes Ephesus and Kuşadası, so it doubles as a sightseeing day if you leave early.
For the adventurous: land in Istanbul and drive, roughly 700 km and around seven hours on good highways. A full day on the road through western Anatolia, best with a stop or two along the way.

Two good options, depending on how you like to travel.
The ceremony, the dinner and the party all happen here, so staying on site means falling out of bed and into the celebration. It is a boutique resort with its own beach and pools, ten minutes from Bodrum town.
Bodrum has excellent Airbnbs, from apartments near the marina to villas with pools, and mid-October is quiet season, so availability is good and rates drop. Anywhere in or around Bodrum town puts you within about ten minutes of the venue.
Groups and families often find a shared villa is the best way to do the weekend.

The METT Hotel & Beach Resort

Mid-October in Bodrum averages around 23°C in the day with the sea still about 22°C, warm enough to swim. Evenings drop to 15–17°C, so bring a layer.
The Turkish lira. Cards work almost everywhere; keep a little cash for taxis and small shops. Withdraw from ATMs in town rather than exchanging at the airport, where rates are worst.
Türkiye uses the European two-pin plug (Type C/F, 230V). Guests from the UAE and Lebanon need an adapter; US guests need an adapter too, nearly all modern chargers handle 230V without a converter.
Yes! Children are welcome.
