Bodrum Resort & Port ( Bodrum ve Bodrum Limanı )
Bodrum is a charming and fascinating little port, 270 km. south of Izmir, on the
Aegean coast of Turkey. The inhabitants of Bodrum are around 30.000 and earn
their living by fishing, boat-building, agriculture, weaving (the village
Mumcular is famous for its carpets, kilims and other weavings) and tourism,
which has become the most important industry in the last few years.
In recent times Bodrum has become not only a tourist center but also a visiting
place for famous Turkish and foreign artists and also an art center, which is a
source of inspiration.
The heart of the town is around the harbor, where shops, bars and restaurants
jostle together in the narrow streets under the shadow of the St. Peter Castle .
The main artery is Cumhurriyet Caddesi (Republic Street), much better known as
bar street.
This street is a pedestrianized showcase of what the town has to offer. Skilled
artisans can make you a pair of snugly fitting leather sandals in the
traditional Aegean style, while small boutiques offer stylish creations inspired
by local designs and fabrics.Shopping tips: mainstream Turkish Fashions (Gallery
Emelce) are well represented to, with clothes designed for hot summer living .
The souvenir shops sell attractive onyx, copper and brass ware, along with toy
camels, and Gold harem slippers. Cafes and restaurants offer a cosmopolitan
choice.To accompany your meal, try the light aniseed flavored national drink
Raki or locally produced wine. After sundown, Bodrum lights up with flashing
neon and laser shows to pulsating throb of the latest dance music. It's party
time all over the town.
