Bodrum, cruise
We took a cruise on a sailboat on which we discovered we were the only passengers. We left Bodrum harbor and sailed around a nearby island, stopping at several inlets to let us swim and try the sea kayak. Two man crew proved sufficient as we ...
Downtown Bodrum, Turkey
... the direction and saw flickering lights as well. This was a great outdoor night club called Halikarnas based on the ancient mausoleum Halicarnasos. Music was loud and on stage a Turkish male belly dancer. What a nice day to spend in Bodrum Turkey. ...

Teos
We swam in Teos today. The Greek islands are in spitting distance! I don't understand why Turkey didn't fight for those islands, they're so close. Anyway, Teos is a nice ancient city, we had a BBQ next to the beach, drank a couple of beers, there ...
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
My last stop in Turkey is pure resort territory, packed full of sunbacking poms. I stopped in Bodrum for only one reason, to see my 2nd Great Wonder, the Mausoleum (i checked and the spelling is right, i think). There is not much left of it now, a big ...
Too much cock, not enough gas
... maybe even a weekend in the Lake District or something. But if you want to be posh and go foreign, I can heartily recommend a week in Turkey. We've had a cracking time!! The only problem was all the cocks! They kept us up all night when we arrived. To be ...

Bodrum - kitsch but gems hide in the cracks
Besides the bars, clubs and the fake cheap watches, the food remains very good. The classical music cocktail bars overlooking Bodrum Castle, the boat days exploring nearby bays and islands and a journey into the mountains - these are all worthwhile ...

Drove Halfway to Ankara
9th August Went to lzmit but there was no post for me, so I guess that we must be moving too fast, so I shall include more addresses in this letter. Did some shopping and got half way to Ankara, so far we have come 5001 kms + 1200 for the Greek trip. I ...
Guests on board
... to return some of his hospitality. He wanted to introduce Azru to sailing so once on board we had a perfect sail out of Bodrum and along the coast to a place called Coketime. We had a fantastic breeze and Cuttyhunk romped along with Erol on ...
Chris's Birthday
We returned to Bodrum and said goodbye to Erol and Azru. We found another available mooring with Bodrum Castle just behind us. Great setting marred only by the disco boats going out at 1am and returning at 4am with the oosh oosh boom boom music at ...
Bodrum
... but was just in fact morning prayer being broadcast throughout the whole town. Didn't do much else that day except for visiting Bodrum Castle which was hardly riveting but at least I got in for free due to having an ISIC card. Oh and there seems ...
Bár csak ott tölthetem a telet.
Mivel sajnos feladtam hogy magyarországon fel fogom ujitani a hajót, mivel minden utat aminek utána jűrtam túl körülményes és drága lett utaztam Bodrumban hogy ott személyesen meggyözödjek a felujitási lehetöségekröl és a ...
Tourist inferno :(
... I am I forgot that on Mondays museums and sites are closed in Turkey. So I had to decide whether to stay another night in Bodrum until Tuesday. I didn't. So I had to skip the castle of St.John, the Mausoleum, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world ...

Patmos
Patmos is the smallest of a group of twelve islands. There are only three towns and the entire islands population is only 3,000. We made the two major stops: Cave of the Apocalypse and St. John's Monastery. Both were interesting and both were very ...
Sunburnt pommies

Bathing in Bodrum
... human experience, I realize, but that gap is widening here, and neither one of us is particularly happy about it. We approach the Bodrum Hamam, on a small hill overlooking the old city, set in a quiet cul-de-sac. We are invited to sit and drink some ...
