Yaliciftlik ! nice to visit for Honeymoon

Yaliciftlik is located outside of Bodrum peninsula and 30 km from the city center. By minibus ( dolmus ) Yaliciftlik is only 40 minutes away from Bodrum center. It is surrounded by secluded small bays, crystal clear sea and beautiful pine forests. Through beautiful pine forests on a winding road past whitewashed cisterns is the beach at Yaliciftlik. The first bay after the end of Karaada Island and marking the entrance to the Gulf of Gokova, this shingle beach has several restaurants and cafes around it, serving good inexpensive delicious foods. The eastern end of the beach is sandy and it is possible to swim and sunbathe in solitude by the rocks a bit further on. 
Yaliciftlik is probably one of the best preserved place around the peninsula of Bodrum.
The traditional gulet yachts start their famous "Blue Cruise" from this area, to explore the famous gulf of Gokova.
There are a couple of holiday villages and luxury hotels in the region. It is a very nice
drive from Bodrum to Yaliciftlik through little villages and forests.
Village of Ciftlikkoy is the farming and just 4 km away. The stone farmhouses are scattered around the hillside, figs grown in the surrounding orchards and the main crops are pine honey collected from the beehives in the forests. Untouched by tourism, the village offers an interesting insight into real local farming life.

Bodrum - the Aegean pearl of Turkey !

Bodrum is the dreamland of those who answer as “yes” the question “Would you like to go on a holiday after work every day?”

Bodrum is an inviting, colorful crowd full of surprises, sometimes a humble wiseacre and a loose wise man, sometimes it is an alone crazy, it is freedom, love; Bodrum is sun, sea and after all it is history… In short Bodrum is everything and everybody. Because everybody has it is own Bodrum here. Some live a modest, peaceful and quiet life, some live crazily madly. Bodrum is a White that bears all colors and also internalizes them. It rains different here and also the sun rise different and sets completely different. Wind blows different, sea smells else. Bodrum is the naughtiest, the haughtiest, the most inert, the most beautiful, the most honest and the most frank child of Nature Mother.

Today, Bodrum is one of the most important centers of trade, art and entertainment as it has been since centuries ago… This coastal town in which traditional and modern life go along hand in hand in an excellent harmony opens it arms for those who want to be acquainted with her and live her

How To Avoid Expensive Mistakes When Visiting Major European Cities!!

In the excitement of visiting glamorous European cities, it’s easy to get carried away and end up with a financial headache at the end of your trip. Avoid expensive mistakes by making some savvy travel choices.

Follow these tips for a stress free trip:

TIP: Forget expensive taxis to get around. Many big city sights are concentrated in a walkable area. Barcelona, Stockholm, London, Venice and Paris are all great for walking.  Explore on your own or take a walking tour such as those offered by Blue Badge guides in London. Nip around on local buses, subways or trams. In Venice, use the traghetto gondolas instead of the fancier and far more expensive tourist gondolas to criss-cross the canals. This no frills service costs just 50 cents (70 cents US) a ride. In Amsterdam, hire a bicycle. Sometimes cash is preferred, so use your Visa Debit at ATMs to access local currency at ATMs all over Europe.

TIP: Think like a local when it comes to food and drink. Europe’s cities have some wonderful green spaces for a picnic lunch. Shop at local markets for cheeses, sausage, breads, fruit and pastries or sample ethnic street foods – Berlin has some of the best. In restaurants, look for set price menus (‘prix fixe’ in Paris) and daily specials and make a value lunch your biggest meal of the day, then dine light in the evening.

Draught domestic beer is cheaper than your favourite bottled beer from back home. Order house wine - half carafes can work out cheaper than individual glasses. In Barcelona, hit the cava bars to sample this inexpensive sparkling wine and some tapas. Order snacks and drinks from the bar in southern Europe – it’s cheaper than waiter service at the table. 

TIP: Many cities offer museum passes but make sure it’s worth getting one – not always the case if you are only in town for a day and feel you must slog round six museums to get your money’s worth. Some cities have free museum days so check before you buy a pass. In Paris, if you just want to do the Louvre once, pay your 10 euros general admission but if you want to go back several times and see other museums too, a four day pass costing 50 euros may be a better option. Berlin’s three day pass is 19 euros but in London, most of the major museums are free so don’t buy a pass unless you want to visit lots of smaller museums which do charge.

TIP: When shopping in EU countries you’ll find that, unlike the US, taxes are included in the price of goods, rather than added at the point of sale. US residents can claim back this Value Added Tax, which varies from one country to another but averages around 20%. On big ticket items of 100 euros or more, it’s well worth claiming that tax back, though a lot of hassle for small amounts. You’ll need to take your passport along when you shop, get the necessary documentation from the store, keep your purchase receipts and get your documents stamped at customs on leaving the country. Stores displaying the ETS logo (Europe Tax-Free Shopping) can refund tax on site.

TIP: Skip expensive hotel room service and if breakfast is not included in your room price, head to a local café – it will cost less and probably have more atmosphere. Use your hotel as a place to sleep and avoid add-ons like phone calls from your room, dry cleaning, morning newspapers (not always free) and drinks in the hotel bar, where it’s easy to run up big bar tabs on your credit card.
