YOUR GUIDE TO BODRUM, TURKEY

Well, today we are leaving this beautiful city, saying we are coming back soon! It was an amazing one week with crystal clear Aegean Sea, great weather, breathtaking landscapes in this cosy city, Bodrum.

We wanted to share some pictures and tips to be a guide for the ones who are planing to visit Bodrum or the ones who love to read about special places like we do!

When you step into this city, all you think is `Okay. When are we moving here!?´ 

Then you might try to keep it cool and go to the nearest beach to enjoy the see through Aegean Sea.

But when it is lunch time and you start feeling the fresh wind on your hair while watching the Greek island Kos from the cosy restaurant,

  you find yourself asking the local people for the real estate agencies at town to research about the prices of Bodrum`s cosy white houses!

I mean, look at this! 

One another special thing about Bodrum is it is not all White&Blue like you expect from Mediterranean cities. Stone houses are mostly white, yes, but this city is full of colors! Purple, red, pink, yellow and purple again!

Halikarnassos (Ancient name of Bodrum) is also an important Ancient city. One of the World´s 7 Wonders "Mausaleon" has built in Halikarnassos, and now you can visit the outdoor museum at Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archeology. You can also see the Bust of Herodotos ( The father of History) while you are there. The museum is defiantly worth to see!

The town is not so small so it offers many different Restaurants, Pubs and of course ice-cream!

Centrum has many small boutiques with colorful handmade pieces.

If you are visiting the Bodrum directly, without going to Istanbul, do not worry and think that you won´t find traditional Turkish gifts to have with you to home! In Bodrum, you can find everything Evil Eyes, Turkish Mosaic Lamps to Turkish Delight!

But of course if you can´t make it to Turkey, we are always here for you! You can find the Turkish handcrafts from Bodrum and all of Turkey on our website; www.grandbazaarshopping.com
