      Bodrum, Turkey

      11. mai, Tyrkia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Today we are moored in Bodrom, never heard of it before we booked this cruise. No tender today we can just get off and walk into town. Nice walk along the water towards the Castle area. So many dogs and cats around here.

      We made it to the Castle area and the market, goodness so many shops. Think this is like the Shenzhen of Turkey. We bought a Turkish coffee, wow so strong, we got half way through the little cup before it turned to mud. They give you a little cup of water with it, you need it to clean the grit out of your mouth.

      It’s a pretty little town, but very commercial, shops selling everything from bag to shirts. We found a cute little bar right on the water and stayed there for a few drinks, watching the tide come in and the waitresses mix cocktails.

      Back on the ship for a couple of quite hours and then we were off for drinks at The Rocks and then dinner and a show.
      The show was called The Rose, I have no idea really what it was all about except there seemed to be one guy in love with both a girl and a boy, but eventually they decide the three of them could make it work. There was plenty of great singing and dancing and some amazing acrobats. In the end the evil queen didn’t like them be so happy, so they all drank a cup of poison and died. Very gracefully and acrobatically though. Fabulous show!

      Mittagshalt in Bodrum

      31. oktober 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Nach einer abenteuerlichen Fahrt durch die Berge, kleine Dörfer und noch kleinere Strassen, haben wir einen bewachten Parkplatz mitten in Bodrum gefunden. Schöne Hafenstadt, bewohnt und nicht nur Tourismus.Les mer

      Bodrum - Turkiets svar på Nice?

      31. juli 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      I Bodrum spenderade jag några timmar i väntan på båten som skulle ta mig vidare till Grekland. Mysig stad. Lite posh, men... Pastan var god 🤣

      Bodrum blev också sista stoppet i Turkiet för denna gång. Framåt eftermiddagen klev jag ombord på katamaranen som skulle ta mig till Kos. Jag kände omedelbart igen mig när jag kom ombord. Det visade sig att båten gått som flygbåt i Skandinavien innan den hamnade här. Ussch, nu kände jag mig plötsligt gammal.Les mer

      Ces détails qui magnifient

      17. august 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Quand dès le matin ton café t'offre du love, c'est plus que censé que ton regard change sur chaque chose durant la journée et toutes celles qui suivent

      Tous ceux qui me connaissent savent que le café c'est une sorte de bomba qui me transforme quasi instantanément en pile radioactive
      Pourtant, à chaque fois que j'en bois c'est en Turquie et systématiquement, il y a cet amour qui s'en dégage
      J'avais oublié...
      Quel doux rappel!

      Alors là, j'ai tout ralenti et par la suite posé ce regard plein de conscience sur presque tout, dans tout ce qui s'est offert; comme s'il était novice

      Quelques gardiens de la beauté...

      C'est un modeste concentré; tout le reste pétille au delà des mots et des images

      Bodrum

      8. juni 2023, Tyrkia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      In Bodrum haben wir unweit der Promenade eine Nacht in einem kleinen aber feinen Hotel verbracht. Wer hier abends unterwegs ist versteht direkt warum es für sein Nachtleben bekannt ist. An der Promenade gibt es eine Bar nach der anderen, eine schöner wie die andere. Es gibt Livemusik und sehr gutes Essen. Der Hafen ist voll mit Jachten und Segelschiffen. Ich hatte hier wohl eine der besten Fischplatten meines Lebens. Eigentlich schade das wir hier nur so kurz sind, denn Morgen geht es mit der Fähre nach Datca weiter.

      Bodrum'da, kordona çok uzak olmayan, küçük ama güzel bir otelde bir gece geçirdik. Buraya akşam saatlerinde gelirseniz, neden gece hayatıyla ünlü olduğunu anlayacaksınız. Kordonda her biri birbirinden güzel barlar birbiri ardına sıralanıyor. Canlı müzik ve çok iyi yemekler var. Liman yatlar ve yelkenli teknelerle dolu. Burada hayatımın en iyi balık tabaklarından birini yedim.
      Bu kadar kısa bir süre için burada olmamız üzücü, çünkü yarın feribotla Datça'ya geçeceğiz.

      Bodrum

      22. april, Tyrkia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      It wasn't a great first impression. The hotel (Manza Boutique Hotel) is well back from the water, way up steep streets and the room doesn't have water views. After a walk, lunch and a nap we went on a segway tour which was so much fun (see separatefootprint). We were exhausted after that (thanks to a couple of wrong turns up steep slopes on the way back) so we had dinner at our hotel. Pasta for a change and very nice.
      Day 2. Very slow and relaxed...apart from the hill back up to the hotel. Long walk along the waterfront and through the shops. Really wish I had space in my suitcase and a bottomless wallet. We tried some of the food places Umet recommended yesterday. The coffee place and pizza restaurant (Akra Pizza) were great. The seafood place, Korfez Restaurant and Bar was nice enough but disappointing for the price.

      Bodrum ohne Touris-schöööön!

      6. februar 2023, Tyrkia ⋅ 🌬 8 °C

      Nachdem wir nun zwei Tage im Bus waren, hatten wir das Verlangen nach Bewegung. Warum dann nicht einfach Bodrum anschauen? Die Stadt gefiel uns ganz gut. Unser Highlight war, dass wir Kaffeebohnen fanden. Da unser Kaffee seit längerem aus war und das Zeug hier nicht trinken kannst, waren wir happy.
      Vor ein paar Tagen bestellten wir uns einen Kaffee. 🤮 Eine Bohne für eine Tasse... 😂
      Cool fanden wir auch die Mengen an Cafés und Restaurants. Und, die super freundlichen Menschen.

      Bodrum & the importance of flexibility

      8. oktober 2022, Tyrkia ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

      Picked up the rental car yesterday and headed south. Took the slightly slower road nearer the coast to see the countryside. Lots of greenhouses with tomatoes and aubergine (eggplant), which I have a new love for thanks to how delicious it is here…incorporated into yogurt, cooked with cheese, mmmm…

      About 2 hrs south of Izmir we found Turkish cotton country—acres and acres of cotton fields with harvest underway. Passed a bunch of tractors hauling full trailers of cotton to the nearby gins and storage buildings full of literal mountains of cotton.

      East from there took us back to the Aegean, where you see *huge* resorts perched on hills leading down to the sea. Clearly “all inclusives” are the draw here, with arcades and water parks for the kids and multiple bars, restaurants, pools, and spas for the adults. It boggles the mind how many there are just in this area alone…easily 20,000+ rooms in a 5 mile stretch of road.

      Bodrum seemed to both of us more Greek than Turkish on first impression—mostly white houses nestled on hillsides around a picturesque bay. Which makes sense since it’s a 1-hour ferry ride from the island of Kos, and the reason we’re only here for one night. Decided to “pop on over” to Greece since it’s so easy AND just happens to be the island which Donny’s sister, Fiona, recommended after her & Ken’s recent visit.

      Now here comes the flexibility part… after meticulously researching the ferry, timing, hotel in Bodrum near the terminal, and chatting with our lovely Airbnb hostess on Kos, what we failed ask was, “Can we leave the country with our rental car?”

      We cannot leave the country with our rental car. Which we discovered when checking in 40 minutes ahead of our booked ferry to Kos. The exchange with the ticket guy (who thankfully spoke great English) was classic…

      Him: You have rental car?
      Us: Yes
      Him: Ah, you have voucher saying you can take rental car out of country?
      Us: 😶
      Him: Let me see paperwork (we hand over little car license folio). No l, you do not have voucher to take car out of country.
      Us: 😳🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️. Can we call to get it.
      Him: You can. (Lengthy pause) But you need it in writing.

      More (restrospectively hilarious) conversation continued at the end of which, and this is one of the biggest reasons I absolutely adore Donny, we switch gears, park the rental car, and head for the ferry sans wheels. Will we get a €240 refund for not taking the car.

      Him: I will talk to boss (with face saying, probably not).

      Segway Tour of Bodrum

      22. april, Tyrkia ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

      We found this tour on trip advisor. I thought it was quoted in Australian dollars but oops it was USD. Never mind, it was worth it. Our guide Umet, was a lovely, informative young man. He took us on some wild back streets and alleys as well as the regular tourist strip. Our lower legs and feet got a huge workout just from operating the segway. Such a fun way to spend a couple of hours.Les mer

      Arrived at the Turkish port of Bodrum. The ship is moored around 15 minutes walk to the town - a long way back in the 35+ heat. Usual knock off designer stuff everywhere you look in the local shops but a lovey harbour and beach resort.Les mer
