Hi
I'm going to Bodrum in April and I was wondering if there is an age limit at the bar/clubs?
Do they ID you?
Many thanks!
iv been to bodrum @ gumbet quite a few times now and have never seen any one get asked for id anywhere. bodrum clubs may b e slighty strikter than gumbet but I suppose it depends what age you are. Also the clubs and bars in gumbet are cheaper than bodrum and its only 2lera on the dolmus[ bus]. a five minute journey. have a good hoilday and remember to bargain with them.
Don't forget that a lot of the clubs and bars won't be open in Gumbet (the season doesn't start until May) and quite a few will be closed in Bodrum as well although more stays open in Bodrum

don't worry there is no age limiy for tourists even you should'n be 10 years old. :D
Hi, it is surprisingly easy to get into a Turkish club or bar. ID checks by door staff are virtually unheard of but you should have a piece of ID with you incase of a police stop and check. April is the very start of the charter flights to Bodrum so the two towns will be quiet still, most of the busy bars don't kick off till late April/May. Consider that the bars are there to get customers in and get yoy to buy as much as possible, especially in Gumbet, where most touristy bars are situated. GUmbet is a short Dolmus journey from Bodrum or a 15 TL taxi fare. If you are planning a late one and use the Dolmus - check the times of the last buses. Have fun, Bodrum is the best place in the world ;o)
The belly dance you will watch in Bodrum surely at least one evening, which is called " Turkish Night ". Folklore, and in the end a belly dance is always in the program. Everything the hotels offer, isn't always the *real* thing. Unfortunately in the last years more and more of the dancers have let it degenerate to a tourist animation.
The boncuk is a blue ornate glass symbol that is alleged to protect the wearer from the "evil eye" and while the Turks are not as superstitious as in days of old, the tradition to display and wear these glass jewels is still as strong as ever. You cannot go into a shop, bar or restaurant in the peninsula without seeing one displayed to pretect the premises - but Bodrum does a roaring trade in selling them to tourists. They come in all sizes from miniscule wallet size varieties up to large plate size for displaying in houses, they come as plates, dishes, cups, art work for walls, pens, necklaces and bracelets...they are a must have memory of your time in this part of the world.
Legend has it that the boncuk will trap the evil eye should it be in the vicinity - when you buy the nazar boncuk if it ever cracks or breaks then it has done what it was designed for and caught the evil before it gets to you!!! Turkish mothers are said to put one on their babies when they are born to prevent any bad luck but in shops in the resort you may find yourself offered one by a shop keeper, accept it graciously!
I have used a great website that sells all things Turkish and will ship pretty much anywhere. Tulumba.com is based in America but they have Turkish books, music, food, maps,clothing and jewellery available at very reasonable prices. They have a travel service.
There will be a shipping charge but the service is fast and efficient.
I have recently ordered some road maps from them and they arrived within a few days of my order and in good condition.
There is also a linked website that sells from within Turkey.
The cheapest option for getting to Turgutreis.
Catch a Dolmus from the Bodrum Otogar. You will see the area where only Dolmus are. Walk around until you see one with "Turgutreis" and hop on the one with people on it. If you can't find it, ask somebody standing around, I found them most helpful, and they will show you which Dolmus. Pay the driver when he arrives, or he may come and get the money first.
Otogar is located on the corner of Cevat Sakir Street & Artemis Street.
FARE FOR THE ROUND TRIP IN 2009 WAS 7 t/l.
A cute and little restaurant with a great Turkish cousine and the best cook I've ever met. You can both read your book and chat with the other guests as they sit so close to your table. The stuff and the owner are very cute, lovely people. Lentils, Turkish Sarma, Potatoes Salad, Borek
