Jet2.com launch new route to Bodrum from Leeds Bradford as film stars and international footballers are pictured on its azure shore

In bygone times Bodrum was the playground for the elite and powerful; the likes of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony found its beauty alluring. Today, this appeal remains amongst the rich and famous.

?An extremely popular location?

Jet2.com has now made this holiday destination more accessible with the launch of their Leeds Bradford route. Flights take off once a week and cost
