Cuisine
by mvtouring
Turkish cuisine has never gotten the attention it deserves as one of the world's finest. One of your here unnamed guides argues it even better than Italian. At the very least, it's breadth and history are impressive. The delicious variety of sweets, salads, fruits, grilled meat dishes, and soups reflect an empire that spanned from Northern Africa, to the Balkans, the Middle East and into Europe as far as Vienna. We will indulge in a variety of delicious and regional specialties, including stuffed peppers and grape leaves, cheese borek, fresh tomatoes and olives, feta cheese, grilled kebabs, rice pilav, figs, sweet baklava, pudding and cakes accompanied by Ephesus beer, a glass of Turkish wine, silted coffee, apple tea and raki -- the national, anise-flavored alcoholic drink that is shaken, not stirred

Number 2
by Lalique about KUBA Bar
Is one of the most famous and loud bars in Bodrum. As anywhere else at the seaside you can find a multinational crowd there. As it seemed to me people of a higher than everage standing usually go there :))) it can be hardly called a typical student or back packer place
WARNING: drinks are too b**dy expencive in this place (like for ex. a bottle of beer - about 5 eur) Not any particular dress code, but you bette have something chic on :)))

Relaxing day sailing on gulet
by Gemsy
A relaxing day out if you love being on a boat for long periods of time. Makes the heat more bearable and you get the best suntan! Stopping off at various beaches and coves for a swim and snorkel.
The gulets are always run by a great crew who are up for a laugh and a joke.
Very reasonable from £7 including lunch, this will leave from about 10am and sailback to the marina at about 4.30/5pm. Just in time for getting back to your apartment for a shower, change and dinner before going out on the town to show off your great suntan!
