THE BEST OF BODRUM

The best of Bodrum! Türkçe Altyazılı Seçebilirsiniz
This episode highlights the very best of Bodrum.
We checked into the El Vino Hotel, a small boutique hotel in the centre of the city to take you on a guided tour and show you why Bodrum is such a popular and exclusive place!
There are many designer shops and chic cafes and restaurants to sit, relax and watch the world go by!
Bodrum castle and its museum of underwater archaeology dominate the centre and is open to visitors all year!
Zeki Müren was a very famous Turkish singer who lived in Bodrum before he died, his house is now a museum and with views overlooking Bodrum bay its worth a visit.
If you take a stroll along Bodrum's marina you will see plenty of luxury yaghts and Gulet boats.
Finally we couldn't leave Bodrum without showing you The Mausoleum, which is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, so if ancient ruins is your thing, this is worth a visit.

Hallo Emma! Ich "brenne" für die Türkei, seit ich 1982 die unglaubliche Gastfreundschaft erleben durfte, Hier steht der "Fremde" oft vor verschlossenen Türen - dort trifft er auf offene Arme und Herzen. DALYAN zwischen Marmaris und Fethiye ist seit Mitte der 80er meine "zweite Heimat". (Mick kennt und liebt es ebenfalls.) Natürlich habe ich für meine Freunde dort auch etwas Türkisch gelernt :-)

[@mustafasusehri820]

Selamlar Mick amca. Senin tanıtım proğramın tv lerdekinden çok daha güzel.

I lived in Izmir from 1989-1992 while serving in the US Air Force, and loved it. Turkey is a beautiful country, rich in history. I would love to go back and visit. Keep up the good work. 😁👍

[@pattyd3205]

We remember that Disco with the Lazer Lights😀 Bodrum was one of the first places we visited in Turkey. It actually started our love of the Country. It has changed lots. Thank you for bringing back some lovely memories. Stay Safe and keep them coming Patricia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mickandtrudie]

Ok

[@wisammoeali]

I am a Canadian \iraqi. the most interesting part of this journey is; that you talked about Zeki Muren, this person is a very important figure among all the notable people that you've mentioned, he is well-known not only in Turkey but in many other countries, in eastern Europe and the Arab world, even the united state due to his music style. one more thing to mention, that his death was a tragedy that saddened lots of people because he had a heart attack and died on live TV during the ceremony held for him at TRT İzmir Television,

[@pauladosch7062]

I was in Bodrun on the day he collapsed on TV while I was watching. I was visiting Turkey for the first time and I like his singing now. People in the music shops told me he was the “Turkish Elvis.”

[@skyrider4282]

Probably the loveliest place in Turkey, but not during the high season due to overcrowd. Thank you for the presentation!

[@junenightingale7144]

Wow it’s changed since I was there in 1984

[@aycaaltl708]

I was born and raised in Bodrum and now I continue to live here. it's very nice, it's also very honorable for such nice people to watch such a nice video and be informed💙

[@kashifshajer5436]

The way u speak Turkish is amazing The Turks r proud of u

[@svart7716]

It’s wonderful to see you in all the resorts we are desperate to have a holiday in, but it’s also torture! I am reading that the virus numbers are coming down quickly now. Please Boris let us go to Turkey!

[@mickandtrudie]

Yes open the airways

[@chrisdber7022]

Hi from a local and a 1988'er ! That's an excellent introduction to Bodrum Centre, and you couldn't have picked a betrer hotel than El Vino! Your timing was perfect, just after the last crane came down from the Castle restoration and while the Viking Sea cruuse ship was in (empty - just for crew change) and while the streets were quiet. Hope to see your next visit!

[@Pinerocks]

I went to Bodrum in 1987. I actually had my photo taken with Zeki Muren. He had his own table outside a cafe where he would sit every night and was quite an attraction with the locals. 😀

[@ruzgargulu7820]

[@MuratCHoRuMLu]

Mick and Trudie Yenge your traveling videos are really qualified than every tv programs. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@nurola]

Thank you very much for this channel. One thing I needed to correct about Zeki Muren. At the past everybody knew his sexuality. There were some interviews that he says he is gay. (I know I read it while I was veryyoung) Also if you look at the costumes he wore you can realize he never hide anything about his sexuality. But he never give this information loudly.

[@kchonimchita]

I've just stumbled upon your video and I'm positively surprised by your remarks about Zeki Muren and your visit to his museum. Yes, he was and still is known by everyone in Turkey as the "sun of art" and respected a lot. Personally, I like to listen to his songs at a "çilingir sofra", drinking rakı and enjoying with my friends. Unfortunately the huge respect towards him comes from the society's huge denial of his sexual orientation. Of course, he wasn't open, but at the same time he was in many ways. I just wish to live in a world where people's sexual orientation or gender identity is no longer a matter of discussion, and a world that is less hypocrate (or not hypocrate at all) considering the hate crimes around us.

[@mickandtrudie]

Great comment and I totally agree with you 🤠

[@susan2043]

Very interesting video, Mick. Lockdown or not, the "flavour" of the place is unsuppressable. What a fantastic history and culture - let's hope it is not all destroyed by mindless expansion in the name of tourism. Enjoy your summer! 🍉🏖

[@johnmorosini-whelan6794]

Hi Mick, than you for that video. I worked at the Halikarnas disco for 3 years from 1989 to 1991. I used to be a professional dancer and putting on various shows there was a great experience. We may have bumped into each other at some stage. Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos.

Great video again, elinize sağlık. You asked about Zeki Müren’s love life. First of all, he is so precious for Turkish people. We call him ‘Sanat Güneşi / Sun of Art’ He had an unique voice and style. About his love life, he had a relationship with an army officer for 8 years. It was in the 60’s. This one is the most known and longest. Love is love. 🏳️‍🌈

[@MeCefilm]

Other than the Zeki Müren's House, I believe the most important house in Bodrum center is the Ertegun House (Neyzen Tevfik Cd. 118). The building was commissioned by the late founder of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegün. This house hosted maybe the first famous visitors of Bodrum (Mick Jagger, Sting, Dustin Hoffman Michael Caine). Also, the building was awarded an Aga Khan Award for Architecture

[@mickandtrudie]

But is it open to visitors? I don’t think so! 🤠😩

Thanks for another beautiful and entertaining video. Been to Bodrum close to ten years ago and we all fell in love with this picturesque coastal city. Our only gripe at the time was the fact that we could not get good night sleeps because of the Disco Loud Music being played till the very early hours of the morning. When we questioned the Hotel Receptionist,his reply was “ Is This The First Time You Come To Bodrum ? “ This is a Party Town during summer.

Good Evening once again to you both. Mt wife and I stayed in Gumbet for 2 weeks and absolutely loved it. We stayed there in the beginning of October and the people were fantastic to us as we were Muslims from Pakistani Heritage (though we live in England). We used to travel on the bus to Bodrum and the surrounding towns which were fantastic. It is one of our favourite holidays of all time. So thank you for the beautiful video, as we have been to all the places you mentioned.
