Bodrum, Turkey

Holiday in Turkey 22nd - 29th August 2010. Would I go there again? Yes but not in August, looking back it was an enjoyable time but there are a few pitfalls to bear in mind. The plumbing in this country is very sub-standard, be very careful walking back to your hotel after dark as streets are poorly lit and you won't see the potholes in the crooked pavement. Turkey doesn't have the same safety standards as we are used to in the UK so be cautious. Let's mention a few good points - they take great pride in their food and you won't be disappointed (delicious!). The people are friendly (maybe a bit pushy in shops but there's much competition for sales) but my conclusion is that if you're planning a Turkish holiday - you will enjoy the experience.
Please remember that my documentation is based from experience back in 2010 and much could've changed since then - Best wishes - Steve x

Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Bodrum.

62 / 78

Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Bodrum.

This place was recommended by someone at our hotel who goes there every year, relatives of the owners of Merve Apts. Probably the best chinese food I've ever had, it was delicious but it comes at a price. Don't forget to take out a loan before going there. Guess what - you get a free brandy on the house after the meal (well that should soften the blow of the £50 bill - NOT). But when you're on holiday you tend to push the boat out a bit further - no regrets here and I'd go there again.
This was a long time ago so if anyone has any updated price lists on this restaurant, please feel free to leave them in the comments section below x
