Bodrum is
busy and has kept its traditional beauty as this is a central
hub for the area with lots to see and do. Gumbet
is a holiday resort here you will find more English people on
package tours and an area that is designed to cater for this
type of visitor. To the right you can see Ephesus
once the second biggest city of all the eastern world. There
are bus trips here for as little as £20
and you get lunch thrown in for your money.
The Bodrum peninsula
has lots of attractions as each area has its own feel and a
different approach to life. Each town has a different level
of entertainment at night that reflects it's personality.
There are lots of bus trips to Pamukkale
which is a natural wonder unique in the world formed by water
over thousands of years. At a temperature of 35 degrees C
the waters come out of the ground and down the mountain side
and form many pools which overflow to form stalactites, hence
the name "Cotton Castle" (the translation
of Pamukkale).
The ancient city of Hierapolis
dating from 190 BC can also be seen in the area.
There are daily boat trips to the Greek island of Kos
leaving from Bodrum harbor at exactly 9.30am so get there early
as you will need to queue at passport control. The trip costs
£30 return.
Here you can experience the best that
Greece has to offer but do not forget to
change your money into Euros!
Torba is a traditional
fishing village with the most beautiful beaches. Bitez
is more for the local Turkish and so you can find a bargain
here. Yalikavak is well worth a see as its
large and still growing and the surrounding hills provide
stunning views of the region.
Bodrum bus station is the key to the rest of the peninsula
where you can visit Gumusluk and the famous
rabbit island. Turgetreis market is on Saturday
at 9.00am and there is even an aqua park on the road to Ortakent
which is great for the kids and adults. There are also Turkish
massage parlours everywhere and boat trips with lunch included!
The food here is fresh, organic, and deemed as one of the world's
top three cuisines (along with French and Chinese). Turkish
dining is fabulous in that it includes an enormous variety of
preparation, techniques and flavors.
