2023 Mediterranean Cruise Day 3 - Bodrum, Turkey

Bodrum is a city on the Bodrum Peninsula, stretching from Turkey's southwest coast into the Aegean Sea. The city features twin bays with views of Bodrum Castle. This medieval fortress was built partly with stones one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, completed in the 4th century B.C. The city is also a gateway for nearby beach towns and resorts.

Myrtle Tree - A myrtle tree has star-like flowers, round berries and fragrant leaves similar to eucalyptus, which can be used to treat congestion. It is also high in salicylic acid, a compound used in aspirin to treat pain. Myrtle berries and leaves can be used as a spice in Mediterranean cuisine and as a substitute for pepper.

Ro Ro's Photo Gallery


In this section you will find a gallery of photos, courtesy of my daughter, Roneshia, aka Ro Ro. She has agreed to share her photos of Bodrum with us.


The first pic in this gallery is of the one and only.......Ro Ro.

I hope you enjoyed these additional pics.

You will note that some of her pictures look similar to mine. That is because we did visit some of the same places on our separate excursions. Thank you Ro Ro.

 

Finally back at the ship. I found these views to be peaceful.

Well this completes our third day in Bodrum, Turkey.


Stay tuned for Day 4 as we will be spending the day in Mykonos, Greece.
