Beautiful Bodrum


The music blares out loud until the Call to Pray at sunrise about 5am; so we have very little sleep, shame the music is not to our taste.



So we head out of Bodrum about 8am heading for Cokertme a small inlet and village in the Gulf East of Bodrum.  We pass many beautiful beaches and anchorage spots that many of the Gulets go to.

We arrive at lunch time and are greeted by friendly staff looking for our business at their restaurants.  We decide to go to Captains Ibrahim's wharf.  It's a very chilled our place with lovely locals it also has a small market so I can purchase what we need for the next few days.


It's really hot today so we both go swimming even though the sea temperature  is only 21degrees, its very refreshing and we can sun bake on the beach.
We meet lots of people from Germany, UK and Australia, chartering and bare boating in the area and they all give us useful information about the area and seems like we can sail around here for a week before heading further South.  It makes perfect sense to us as we have to be somewhere next Sunday to watch the F1 and then Wednesday week for the State of Origin.  Looks like we have lots of options for the next few weeks.  We are loving Turkey!

Dinner is mezza and freshly cooked red snapper, can't wait to have some fresh fish.

And finally a video of the wildlife around Bodrum.
