Itinerary
- Bodrum City: Stroll Through Bodrum Bazaar Like a Local!: Browsing the diverse stalls of Bodrum Bazaar, discover specialty stores for products including peştemal (towels used in Ottoman Hammam), wood block-printed scarves, handmade silver, and jewelry and leather bags made in Bodrum. You’ll also find a fine range of textiles, arts, and crafts to perhaps buy for yourself or loved ones back home. We’ll visit the atelier of an expert Turkish carpet- and rug-maker with 50 years’ experience, and learn why his locally made carpets and rugs make their way right around the world! Here, perhaps pick up a souvenir of your travels for your own home. All the stores and boutiques we visit on the tour are owned and run by local families, which offers unique insight into Bodrum’s culture and society.
- Bodrum City: Explore the Worlds of Turkish Art, Artisanship, and Local Style: Delve into the creative side of Bodrum among lesser-known venues and cultural centers set away from the tourist trail, and admire beautiful artworks from the wide variety of local artists on display. In a Turkish designer’s store nestled among the side-streets, browse garments featuring Oriental and European styles, and see how traditional Turkish design has influenced global fashions.
- Bodrum City: Experience Bodrum Through its Delicious Cuisine: Bodrum’s cuisine features fresh seafood and traditional recipes handed down through the generations, and no visit is complete without a few tastings! As we explore, you’ll learn the role Bodrum’s home-made street food plays in the town’s local culture. We’ll stop four or so times along the way to sample delicious street food such as baklava (layered filo pastry filled with nuts, and sweetened with syrup or honey), Bodrum special doner (a delicious kebab with marinated seasonal vegetables and Bodrum’s secret sauce), and midye tava (crispy mussel snacks on a stick. With local fisherman bringing in new hauls of fresh seafood every day, you’re spoiled for choice! We’ll sample traditional baked goods at a local patisserie dating back to 1876, and savor a steaming cup of Turkish tea or coffee. And of course, the highest quality Turkish Delight also features on our home-made and hand-made tasting menu.
