Pide square.
by Erkmen
You can not pass Bodrum town center without passing pide square.. It is there in the middle, whereever you go, you will pass from there, what ever you are doing, sooner or later, you will eat something there...
Indeed I dont know the real name of the place, but everyone knows there as Pide square, due to Pide sellers open all day and night..
The square is connecting the bar streets to Marina and side streets.. And in the middle there are four small resturants, which sell a kind of Turkish pizza.. They are open all day long.. So even if you visit there 4 am or 4 pm they will serve you.. Or you may find your friend there..
its in the middle in between..
LABRANDA was one 'off the...
by Lalique
LABRANDA was one 'off the beaten' we visited. It's about 50-60km from Bodrum towards Izmir and about 12km from Milas.
Labranda was a religious center. It was connected with Milas by a sacred road. Labranda also had a sacred pool of fish adorned with earrings and necklaces. These fish were thought capable of making YES or NO prophecies by accepting or refusing food offered to them after question.
Labranda never grew any larger than a village, leaving today's ruins with an intimate atmosphere. Set high on a hill in a grove of pine trees above Milas, Labranda is well worth the bumpy ride required to get there.
In Labranda you can see the foundation of a large Temple of Zeus, as well as a marble building, which may have harbored the sacred fish. Also included are the solid Andron, or men's club, with galls almost 2 meter thick, and a tomb on the hillside above the temple site (worth steep climbing, the view is stunning).
The keeper of the site is a very friendly guy, though he knows a couple of words in English and a couple in German, but he was eager to show us around and helped a lot climbing the steep hill in order to see the tomb. He also offered to buy a small jar of local honey (one can see apiary nearby). We did buy the honey, the taste is delicious!!!
Upmarket Night Out!
by Lyndra about Marina Yacht Club
The marina yacht club is a new addition to my drinking haunts as this year I tries to explore the marina side of Bodrum - there are many great restaurants and bars I hadn't tried before!
The Yacht Club is open to all despite the fact that generally places like this are members clubs. There are a few bars serving the usual Bodrum alcoholic wares but in a nice surrounding beside the marina, with the boats and lapping water nearby. There are also a number of restaurants that serve a range of international and Turkish foods. The best of these is a swish roof restaurant. The place is open air - who needs air conditioning!
The Yacht Club is situated at the far end of Neyzen Tevfik Caddesi so it can be a pleasant stroll depending on where your hotel is. A busy and popular place and a good night out! Many people here are quite smartly dressed but the dress code seemed quite relaxed.
I found a McDonalds in Bodrum
by Nobbe about McDonalds
This was my most expensive Big Mac I ever bought. It cost me around 5,000,000! That was in the local currency Turkish Lira, so it wasn't that expenside at all really, but I got a big smile on my face when I heard the price.
BLAUE-REISE
by arthur40
Blaue-Reise von Bodrum nach Marmaris..
Gesegnet von der Liebe der Aphrodite.
Eine Blaue-Reise im Golf von Gökova beginnt im Yachthafen von Bodrum. Die tiefen glasklaren Gewässer des Golfes an der Südküste der Bodrum-Halbinsel zeigen eine Farbenpalette von dunkelsten bis zum durchsichtigen Türkis, und die Küstenlinie ist bewaldet in allen Schattierungen von Grün.
Die Blaue-Reise sollte man in Verbindung mit einem anschließenden Hotelaufenthalt buchen. Wir haben es so gemacht und haben wir unseren schönesten Urlaub erlebt.
1 Wo Blaue Reise ab Deutschland kostet je nach Saison 550 - 650,- €.
