The staff were very welcoming and patient while I tried a few different styles of jacket on, offering their opinion of what looked best too. They said small adjustments could be made to the tailoring - for example the length of the sleeves if I desired. No need though as I found the jacket I was looking for and loved it just the way it was so it was time to barter, make sure you do too as the ticket price is negotiable. Overall a great experience shopping with them and the quality of product is very high!

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!

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

I did everything you must not do. I imagined it would be like Mycenae or Troy (ie very very small), wrong!! - no research (just a hotel map) no water, no mobile phone, no compass. Belief me - I am fit but it would have been very easy to die in this place. We took a taxi from Bodrum, late September. There was no one manning the gate, so we drove about a mile and was dropped off at the Watch Tower where there were some people who had clearly given up at the first hill. However there were some stones coloured with white and red paint and a couple of badly faded signs. Passing several walls and strange open holes we went over the first hill, came to a large clearing and in front was a second large hill with a very steep climb and a wall visible. I left my wife at the clearing and went up the hill myself expecting it take about half an hour. I returned from the top quickly as a realised time I had taken too long. there were so many goat trails that although I started correctly (had left a maker) but I was soon lost in the trees. I never managed to find her. With the heat and thirst, I hallucinated and started to lose strength. Trying to find a path through the trees and thorn bushes was impossible but I found a dried up river bed and after going the wrong way at first, retraced my steps, climbing higher and stumbled on the stones of the some part of the city. In clearing I found some full but discarded bottle of water which I drank and then a track used by vehicles. I knew it was leading the wrong way but (correctly) followed it down to a main road at the North end of the isthmus near Torba where a kind motorcyclist took me (bloody, torn and battered) to Bodrum. The Police and a Search Team were looking for me but I never saw any one - but thank them profoundly for their efforts and hope they excuse by recklessness, My ordeal lasted 7 hours. I post this account to warn others on no account to follow by stupidity - it may be your last.
