After 3 nights in Istanbul we headed to Bodrum on the southwestern coast of Turkey (on the Aegean) for 4 nights. Bodrum is a touristy town with a big harbor filled with boats. There are some beaches and some museums including the museum of underwater archaeology (shipwrecks) which was neat and a castle and even one of the seven wonders of the ancient world (Mausoleum) in Bodrum. We got to the castle and the shipwreck museum but not Mausoleum though we're pretty sure it's just a hole in the ground now. We went to Bodrum to relax and do nothing - at the pool, at the beach, on a boat, wherever. We stayed in a hotel on top of a hill overlooking Bodrum so we were able to enjoy a gorgeous view from our balcony and also from the pool and fitness center at the hotel. So here is Bodrum complete with the harbor and the castle, as viewed from our balcony:
The buildings on the hill next to our hotel:
Boats in the harbor as viewed from a little alcove in our hotel:
We took a lot of pictures of the boats in the harbor because there were so many of them and it was neat to see them all lined up:
