10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Bodrum City That You Shouldn't Miss

September 12, 2021 Alice Mieles

Once a cozy fishing village of only a few thousand people, Bodrum has experienced a renaissance in the last half century that has transformed this once-sleepy community into one of Turkey's most popular vacation hotspots. Writers, intellectuals, artists and musicians have long called this Aegean town home, or second-home, attracting a vibrant cultural scene paralleled only by the town's nightlife. Windswept beaches and glittering waters provide the backdrop to the perfect beach getaway.

This tour to the village of Etrim took us back in time hundreds of years. We met Engin (sorry if I’ve spelt it incorrectly), his grandmother, father, mother, sister and her family. We were welcomed into the small, rustic and very rudimentary Turkish house where his grandmother lived when she married Engin’s late grandfather. The people of this village are self sufficient. They keep cows to milk, sheep, goats and chickens, and the women weave carpets. We saw how they produced exotic colours for the wool from the products they grew in their gardens. We watched in awe as they spun the wool then weaved it. Then over a glass of Turkish wine or local coffee, we were stunned by the beauty of the completed rugs. Engin related the stories of each rug - the particular designs and colour schemes, and the deep love and respect he and his family have for them. We could not leave the village without one of these works of art. We will cherish it forever in our home in Australia. What more can I say? It was a wonderful day with intimate access into the magical world of traditional Turkish carpet making.

I found BMC & Okay via Tripadvisor and passed by for a short 4 day test rental with plans for an eventual long term rental. The shop is in an easy to find location in Bodrum, Okay spoke great english, was friendly, informed, helpful, and gave me a good deal on a bike for my first rental. Upon return the service and vibe were just as friendly and i'll most certainly return for my long term rental!

Reviewed By farideh0405 - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

I love to sing .... and even before we came on holiday I asked in a Bodrum forum where was the best place for karaoke and the unanimous result was Memories and Horribles . Because of covid I wasn’t sure if it was going to be on so I message on messenger and Mehmet replied instantly letting me know their opening times etc . When we got there on the first nice it felt like meet up with friends !!! All the staff were super friendly and welcoming . The sound for the singers amongst you is amazing!!! Any song you want to sing they will find it . It’s good for couples , families and the solo traveller , because even if u are on your own everybody is so interactive at karaoke you feel included . We went pretty much every night of our holiday for a couple of songs . In covid times they totally disinfect the mics etc between singers so u feel safe . The drink prices are very reasonable too . Thank you to mehmet and the lovely staff for making our holiday a good one and see u again soon xxx
