Bodrum Houses & Streets

Bodrum houses... Unique Mediterranean sytle... White, small windows, special Bodrum flowers and tress over the  high garden walls, shadowy and norrow rough cobblestone pavement... Some of them are made from a special stone.

To Mediterrannian Lovers...

Turkey's Mediterranean shore, called the Turquoise Coast, is nearly 1600 km (994 miles) long, scattered with fine-sand beaches and sprinkled abundantly with classical cities turned to picturesque ruins.  It has more and better beaches and resorts than does the Aegean coast, and warmer, saltier water than the Black Sea coast. The Taurus (Toros) Mountains form a dramatic backdrop along much of the coast, often dropping steeply right into the sea, but in some places rivers have washed down enough sediment over the ages to form beaches backed by fertile alluvial plains good for growing cotton, vegetables, and even tropical fruits like bananas.

I live in the corner of Mediterranean & Aegean Seas. A lovely sea-side town which is called Bodrum. The ancient name was "Halicarnassus" who he lived in the capital of Caria around BC 353. The Mausoleum of the seven wonders of the world during this period and also the sister of the King Mausoleum to the memory of his wife, was built by Artemisia.

If you ask me about Bodrum. I will tell  you “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”.  Everyone familiar with old and quaint matrimonial customs in the English-speaking world will recognize what I said. It alludes to the nature of some items a bride ought to have to bring success to her marriage.  I contend that Bodrum has it all.

The blue seas are all around us and above are the most brilliant of blue summer skies. And an added touch of blue comes from the magnificent “Blue Voyages” which are practically synonymous with Bodrum.

So Bodrum is a typical Mediterranean town with its location, life-style, history and philosophy.  After long years in a big metrepol, Bodrum was my first chooise to live  with my children and to feel again as a human... 

I wish to share my feeling and memories, the life in Bodrum and all beauty of a Mediterranean Sytle in this blog. Forgive me, English is not my native language, if I made lots of grammer mistake and I prefer pictures for my expressions further than articles...

Take care and but remember anything you do do it with "gusto"-a taste for life. 


Cheers
