    Some people have complained about the music and asked why I didn't use Turkish music. The reason is that there are restrictions regarding music that is used in videos for UA-cam. Basically, you can't use any music that is copyrighted or your video will be demonetized. So most UA-camrs, including myself, get the music they use from certain sources that offer music that isn't copyrighted, for example the UA-cam audio library which offers free music for UA-camrs to use. Plus I pay a monthly fee for Epidemic Sound, a website that creates music that can be used in UA-cam videos. Point being, you are limited by what you can find from those few sources of music. And unfortunately there often isn't music that is specific to certain countries, so you have to use something else. I searched for Turkish music, but there was nothing distinctly Turkish. Here's a video with more info about using music in UA-cam videos: ua-cam.com/video/vVXMfASGaUs/v-deo.html

      All of Turkey is full of antiquities of ancient Greece and Alexander the Great. The guides boldly report that they were made by "ancient Turks"! But the Turks were populations that appeared in the area a thousand years ago today. It is nothing made of their "culture". Everything was made by the peoples who slaughtered.

    17:40 it is called "sarnıç" in Turkish and it is basically used to collect rain water for summer since ancient times. Bodrum's Sarnıç's are mostly dated back to 200 years or so. You can find it all around Bodrum. They are not in use right now because of modern plumbing system but some still filled with water. It also keep water very cold and they had significant temperature difference from outside so they sometimes used as fridges like purposes as well.

A month ago I flew from England to Estonia and I have been travelling by coach and train via Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and am currently in Budapest, Hungary with Greece my ultimate destination.
    I'm not tech savvy but I hope to use some old fashioned technology and write up my journey after the event.
    As a newbie to these trips I'm surprised how physically demanding they are, all my belongings on my back like a snail with its shell, lots of walking which takes its toll on the legs. I'm impressed that you can keep this up month in month out year after year.

Things will still be happening through most of October, but by the end of October it will be pretty dead on the islands. Still can be fun to explore without many other people around and accommodation will be cheaper. A lot of places will be closed though.

    A fun fact that even if the mausoleum at Halicarnassus got destroyed in an earthquake most of the building was still standing as a ruin until Knights of St. John came and decided to build a castle by using the ruins!! So you were already visiting the the mausoleum while visitng the castle and that's why there is pretty much nothing left from it but i guess it is still a good example of early urban renewal 😁

      @@quantumparadox3075 No it wasn’t. The mausoleum, although designed by Greek architects, was built by and for Mausolus, a native Anatolian from Caria and a satrap in the Achaemenid Empire who earlier conquered the native Anatolian kingdom of Lycia from where the design actually originates. Lycians were also not Greek, but Anatolian natives speaking a form of Luwian language.

      We were there this summer visiting my wife's family and really enjoyed our trip. The town of Bodrum itself is great to wander around in but the surrounding towns on Bodrum peninsula are what make it worth visiting, in my opinion. Gümüşlük and Türkbükü were my favorites. Quaint fishing villages with amazing food and beautiful views of the Aegean.

    In Bodrum Akyarlar,
    You can experience a holiday that reflects the splendor of your dreams in Bodrum Akyarlar. I would definitely say to discover the stunning beauty of the unique sea view in an environment intertwined with nature.
    It is home to a magnificent blue flag beach and numerous fish restaurants located on this beachfront.
    I don't know if those who live here are aware of what a wonderful place they live in.
    but one wants to touch the little blue chairs on the beach, the delicately knit turquoise and pink covers on the tables,
    the sands that take all the fatigue off, the small fishing boats, and the clear water like an aquarium.
    It seems to me that just seeing and smelling is not enough.
    I recommend a long-term rental summer house here to enjoy this place to the maximum.

      You are so mistaken... Never occupied by Greeks! Because its simply the Greeks land; because the Greeks were there since ever, no one was living there except Greeks from the beginning, neither Greeks never conquered any other nation in this region of the world during ancient times, even prehistoric period. Therefore, Greeks were there from the beginning with their most great civilization, mathematics, astronomy, health and sciences! Of course before Romans, before Persians come to conquer Greeks... Its so easy to learn today all about the history and facts I referred to you.

      Mar Kav Correct to a point... Ancient Greeks ruled the region but there were other tribes scattered all over the region.

The entire region of Italy, Greece, Turkey had many ruling cultures over time..

    The title of your video does not represent the video content, as you claim a TOUR Of Bodrum, but actually you just walked around a bit in the old city center.
