It is located on the southern coast of Bodrum Peninsula, at a point that checks the entry into the Gulf of Gökova.

Details from Bodrum- Bodrum'dan Detaylar

Bodrum is one of the most popular place during summers in Turkey, because it's both fun at nights and calm in mornings, while you swim in the cool sea or have a sun bath. I caught some details, when I was there for 2 weeks. These are some photos that I took in Türkbükü.

Türkbükü is some kind of a wonderland of neklaces and bracelets! I found a very special bracelet there and a very special person bought it for me:) The other photo is a composition of a fork and a knife, that I used while I was eating my dinner. Also there were incredibly cute ducks, walking with us, or sleeping:)

A man was selling "Elma Şekeri" (apple candy, I think) and "macun" (a kind of sugar) with his little car, that I liked the lights on it, which was full of apple candies and macun.

The last  photo is a detail of my hat that I bought from Bodrum.

Bodrum, yazları Türkiye'nin en popüler yerlerinden biridir, çünkü geceleri eğlenceli olabilir, aynı zamanda da siz o serin denizde yüzerken ya da sahilde güneşlenirken sabahları gayet sakin olabilir. Oraya 2 haftalığına gitmiştim ve bazı detaylar yakaladım, ki bunlar Türkbükü'nde çektiğim bazı fotoğraflar.

Türkbükü adeta bilezik ve kolyelerin harikalar diyarı! Orda çok özel bi bilezik buldum, ve o bileziği özel biri benim için satın aldı:) Öbür fotoğraf, akşam yemeğimi yerken kullandığım çatal ve bıçağın kompozisyonu. Ayrıca orda bizimle beraber yürüyen ya da uyuyan inanılmaz tatlı ördekler vardı:)

Üstündeki ışıklandırmayı beğendiğim minik arabalı, elma şekeri ve macun satan bir adam vardı orda ve arabası gerçekten elma şekeri ve macunla doluydu.

Son fotoğraf da Bodrum'dan aldığım bir şapkadan detay.
