"Wanderlust" on the Bodrum-peninsula
Of course walking on the peninsula with its mountains is nothing we would recommend for summer, but the mild winter,
in fact all time from end of October until April is ideal for walks. There are also some walking clubs in Bodrum.
We will keep you informed on their programs.
In case you are interested in walking down here you should bring down with you a nice bookelt, from Sunflower Books
"Landscapes in Turkey, Bodrum and Marmaris". Perhaps you will find it at
AMAZON
In short we will take over a few walks to be published here.

Day trip to Cos/Greece
After only 20 minutes on the hydrofoil you will
arrive the greek island of Cos that is just opposite of Bodrum.
A day trip to this birthplace of Hippocrates will add color to your holidays. Many traces of its ancient past are
here, like the tree of Hippocrates (center of town) and the Asklepeion of Hippocrates (bit out of town). Do your
shopping before the Greeks have their Siesta (most of the facilities are closed then). Keep that in mind as well,
as you are planning your trip on a Sunday. Cos itself is a nice and tidy Greek town.
Car rental - self drive:
Explore the peninsula on your own. Have a look at the villages where life still lingers on. Mumcular or Ciftlik,
or drive to the unspoiled beaches at Akyarlar or Ortakent.

Hamam - a turkish bath in Bodrum is a must:
Hamam, that’s the word for the Turkish bath - surely an unforgettable part of your holiday and the massage is the
best part. On the marble slab the guest will receive a pummeling from head to toe, let the expert scrub of all
those dead cells, relax again, and then drift away while the masseur straightens out all those knots and tense
bits.
All you have to do then is to wash your hair and put on loads of sun cream before emerging.
After that you can relax with a Çay (Turkish tea) and you feel reborn. You'll feel just as smug as thr active
types for a lot less effort.
Camel fight
In the mild winter on the Aegean coast you can watch camel fights. This is a bloodless sport, it is a contest of
strength to see which camel can hold his opponent down the longest.
This process can take hours therefore the handlers intervene and pull them apart. These are big spectacles in the
Aegean region. Also included in the Bodrum

Romantic Dinner in Gümüslük:
A sunken city and harbour from ancient times, coupled with a fishing village, interesting walk across the sunken
city wall to Rabbit island provides a superb back drop for the restaurants that line the harbour. A true delight
is watching the sun slowly sinking into the Aegean sea on a warm summers evening. The restaurants serve traditional
food with particular emphasis on Fish freshly caught. see restaurants
