Marina
by Helga67
The marina and port for ferries is located right in the heart of Bodrum. It's a bustling place hosting elegant yachts that come from all over the world. It's nice to walk along the marina and watch all those beautiful wooden sailing yachts.
Many sailing companies have there starting point in Bodrum for a cruise along the turquoise coast of Turkey.
Olive....Elixir of The Gods
by voyageur2
Everybody going to Bodrum by land can see numerous olive trees. Region is well known with quality of its olives. Locals never prepare a table without olive oil. Salads and many dishes contain it. Here are a few examples:
mixed fries(pepper, tomato, egg plant, marrows etc.) with yoghurt, omelettes with local vegetables and herbs, green or black olive in olive oil(try it with some toast-excellent for a breakfast)
Big Bazaar

Bodrum is also like a big market, I mean if you are interested in shopping (or to put it more correctly "marketting":D) this is the right place.
You can find lots of cute,cheezy, stylish things:) and don't be afraid of haggling:)
BUT!!! one of the most important warnings!
Keep your purse closer to your heart or to whatever:))))))) ...I mean that some of the local inhabitants are very good at pulling purses out of the pockets of careless tourists:)))))
good luck and have a nice time!
Milas Bodrum International Airport
by voyageur2
Using air transportation will be the most reasonable way for going to Bodrum from Europe. Despite relatively good road conditions in western regions of Turkey, a problem-free travel to Bodrum requires some comfort.
There are regular flights from Istanbul(domestic) daily and charters from many European airports.
Hummmm.. someone said pizza?
by erendilight about Sunger Pizza
Cheap and cheerful - opposite the marina. Best Pizza and meeting point of the town. It is always crowded with locals and the sailing crowd. If you venture on to the roof terrace there are tremendous views over the Harbour towards the castle. The personality of the place reflects the local well-known owner. Try 'Çökertme', that's thin sliced meat on a layer of very fine grated chips with yoghurt.
