Bodrum’s Wonder of the Ancient World - Mausoleum at Halicarnassus / Marina Walk in Bodrum, Turkey
Bodrum, Turkey is home to two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and one of those is the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. Come along with me for a relaxing walk along the Bodrum Marina waterfront and then we’ll head over to the tomb of Mausolus and Artemisia II. We’ll explore the grounds of this once-tall standing and elaborate structure and get a glimpse into Ancient Greek life. If you’d like to see more from my perspective as an American living in Turkey, please consider subscribing to my UA-cam channel and giving this video a thumbs up. Until next time, thanks!

I can assure you that the few moments of her panting on film were not representative of her entire day, nor did she showcase any signs of heatstroke. We’ve always consulted with her vet on her health, and they’ve advised us on what sort of conditions she can withstand given her breed and we listen to their advice.

    Two things: First, your omission, in the wrap-up, of the Geneoese era of Chios for a good 3-4 centuries prior to the Ottoman occupation, is unforgivable. Second, although as you correctly mentioned the massacre of Chios yielded 30000 victims, the English subtitles mention 3000. Good job, otherwise. Now, you can’t do much about correcting the historical record that pertains to the Genovese era of Chios but you surely can correct the number that you stated in the subtitles: the Ottomans slaughtered 30000 not 3000 Chios people. They were your words. Just correct the subtitles please.

You know why? because genoese architecture and visual heritage is evident everywhere around the island (especially in the Kambos area, also in Pyrgi village but also throughout the island’s structures.) If, as is the case, no reference is made to the geneose period then how is the visitor supposed to know where this beautiful heritage came from? So, unforgivable? Absolutely! Dramatic? A very inadequate way to describe an omission of this caliber.

    How big was that carrier? How did you fit your frenchie inside it? Bella is 26lb and she does not fit at all in the carriers designed by Delta or United. That said, I’m stuck with options on how to travel with my 9y old Frenchie from USA to Brazil :(

      I have the Sherpa Original Deluxe in Large and its measurements are 18.0" x 11.0" x 10.5". The shell of it is slightly flexible, though, so it can squish down a bit if the dimensions under the seat are a bit smaller (and the Delta agent confirmed it was good). Fig is also a chunky Frenchie 😆... and at first I thought she would be way too big to fit in the carrier and was really concerned it wouldn't work. I started by putting a treat in the carrier and saying the command "in". I did this over and over again giving her praise and slowly moved the treat further into the carrier until she was eventually all the way in. At this point she would need to turn around to get out. After a few days of practice, I had her lay down after turning around and eventually I'd close the zipper on her and give her praise and a treat when she complied. It was just a few weeks of practice like this over and over again with lots of treats and praise. Eventually, she even went into the carrier on her own to nap. She became so comfortable turning around in it and less clumsy at it than when she started, too. During the trans-Atlantic flight she slept the whole time and we never opened up the zippers since they ask you to keep the carrier closed. I hope you have luck with your Bella :)

    I'm from the US, and my partner and I spent 2.5 weeks in Turkey summer of 2022. We were BlOWN away by how affordable Turkey seemed, at least in the coastal parts of the Antalya province. Has it really gotten so much more expensive? That's a bummer to here, b/c we felt like we were getting tremendous value then.

      Yes, inflation has probably been ~60% on average every year since your visit; the last two years being the worst.

      @ohsopom Місяць тому

      The strength of the dollar vs the lira will certainly be in your favor when vacationing here, but I don't doubt you'd be spending a significantly higher percentage now for the very same hotels, restaurants, etc... than what you spent a few years ago. From what I've experienced, prices are starting to approach and even out a bit more with other European hot spots. Nonetheless, there are so many beautiful areas to visit in Turkey, so it's still worth the visit, but just know it will likely be more than what you paid previously. Thank you for watching!

    It is a scientific fact that hot tea will cool you down more than, say, iced tea would. You will sweat more and as it evaporates it will cool you down.

    • @ohsopom
      @ohsopom Місяць тому

      I’m a bit worried about sweating more in order to cool down, but I’ll have to take your advice and try it out. I hope it works 🤞. Thank you for taking the time to watch!

    • @irfanacar2007

      @@ohsopom Please note that this works best in dry heat conditions. If it's hot and humid, the sweat won't evaporate easily and you won't get the cooling effect. If that is the case, I recommend homemade iced tea instead!

    • @ohsopom
      @ohsopom Місяць тому

      Good point, and it's a dryer heat in Bodrum so I can try this out. Of course, a nice cold iced tea also hits the spot :)

    Thank you for the great video, learned a lot. You mentioned that Delta Airlines requires a pet carrier with 4 sides of mesh. You added mesh to the top of the Sherpa. Can I ask how you added it? Did you buy mesh and sew it yourself or? I got a 25 pound Frenchie and I'm trying to travel to Japan. Not knowing if the airline will accept the carrier / his size is stressful !

    • @ohsopom
      @ohsopom Місяць тому

      I just unzipped the top portion and crudely taped some mesh (can be purchased at the craft store) to the underside where the opening was and the flap that was unzipped just sort of hung loosely inside the carrier. If you’re handy with sewing I’m sure you could easily enough sew in a few stitches to make it more secure but with the tape I was able to just remove it easily without permanently altering the carrier. Delta never checked the carrier over or asked about it meeting their requirements, but still I wanted to ensure that we followed their rules and weren’t turned away because such a small thing. I wish you luck with your Frenchie!

    i Watched the video until you unforgivables went to eat at a... Macdonalds??? In TURKEY????? Were you looking for the WORST Possible food? Why on earth would you EVER go to a God Damned Fast Food Joint??? ESPECIALLY in Turkey, but also everywhere else in the world? LEARN HOW TO EAT PROPER FOOD.

  • @anastassiosperakis2869
    @anastassiosperakis2869 Місяць тому

    Of all the great foods, you liked these very unhealthy Loukoumades? These are god-awful and crude, as you said, like donuts (but different). It may well be they are the same as the "loukmas' in Turkey. I'd rather have a Baklava with pistachios from Gazi Antep, or a very healthy version we used to make, with zero butter (all olive oil!)

    PS you cannot be serious if you call this a "bumpy ride", or you have not taken a lot of boat rides so you can compare. Turkey is VERY CLOSE TO CHIOS. In some places the distance is only TWO MILES, so even a slow amateur can SWIM ACROSS in less than an hour or two!

  • @anastassiosperakis2869
    @anastassiosperakis2869 Місяць тому

    Hi. You keep mispronouncing the island I grew up from 1 to 9 years old. IT IS NOT PRONOUNCED "KIOS". Kios is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT, MUCH SMALLER ISLAND! The island you visited is XIOS, pronounced "CHI" like in "HAVE" or "HERE".
