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 :-)

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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Brilliant, I was there briefly in ‘87. The home of Herodotus, the ancient worlds legend of history writing.

Bodrum is awesome , stayed there in 2018 , Kos is only an hour away by ferry too.

[@junenightingale7144]

Wow it’s changed since I was there in 1984

[@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.”

[@kashifshajer5436]

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

[@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. 😀

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.

hi from Bodrum, thanks for this beatiful video.

[@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.

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. 🏳️‍🌈

[@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.

[@simonenin71]

I spent most of my childhood, and teenage years in Bodrum. We used to go there every summer, and stayed for at least three months. Those were the days. I haven’t been there since 1992. From this video I can see it changed a lot, grew bigger. I watched another video about Bodrum before watching Uncle Mick’s video, and was so disappointed with the quality of it. Uncle Mick’s video is very beautiful and shows Bodrum objectively. Thank you Uncle Mick and Trudie

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.

[@tobleroneyumm]

Its nice to see that despite the rapid development of the region most of the old town and its buildings remain the same. The small El vino hotel is stunning! The hospital story is quite reflective of Turkeys recent infrastructure boom. Just a few decades ago small towns with up to 10,000 population didn't even have well-equipped hospitals or dentistry facilities. Nowadays theres probably too many new hospitals and clinics opening up.

[@iffyrafiq6074]

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.
