Bodrum Peninsula, Turkey

The Bodrum Peninsula has tugged at many a heart-string. During the writing process for my "Bodrum Peninsula Travel Guide: Turkey's Aegean Gem" I asked fellow travelers and visitors to the area, what their First Impression and Lasting Memories of the Bodrum Peninsula were.

I wanted to get a cross-section of input from people who knew the area, or who were discovering it for the first time.

In this podcast episode, I share a varied collection of First Impressions and Lasting memories with you. I hope these inspire you to try the Peninsula for yourself.

Bodrum has a lot to offer visitor's, but if you're in town for more than a couple of days, chances are you'll want to explore some of the neighbouring towns and villages. One of Bodrum's closest neighbours is Torba, and it's only a 15 minute dolmus ride away, and today's podcast covers how to get to Torba, and find your way around.
