i've been to bodrum quite a few times... and i dont like it
1) the sea isn't nice
2)too windy (Atleast it was always windy whenever i went to bodrum)
3)too many tourists.

only good thing about bodrum is the clubs


oh really?? mmm :/ usually i hear good things about it...
nice clubs?mm thats great!!
so where did u stay at bodrum?

there's so many good bands in turkey, yet they go and find the worst singer they can find and make them sing in english with bad accents.


the year they won they had the really good lady who's name i dont remember....

you're always going to hear better things about it from someone who isn't turkish than someone who is...
the clubs there are great (check out halikarnos - biggest open air club in europe)
dont go t bodrum
go to gumbet - close enough that you have the fun, far away enough that you get the nicer beach and peace and quiet if you want it...

i always stay with relatives in istanbul so can't help you really other than saying it will take a good few days to see everything and personally i would choose a hotel on the bosphor because it's beautiful
alternatively my uncle used to manage this place: http://www.ansensuites.com/
i only went once but it was beautiful

the old spice market

topkapi palace
the blue mosque
dolmabahce palace
the old metro (its like the oldest metro in europe or asia or soemthing)

they're the main ones i'd say... just look at a guide

When I was there for a couple months last year, I felt like I'd left without really seeing anything. And there are 2 airports so it's easy to venture into other cities.
