Turkish Delights #1 - Bodrum Merkez (Town Centre)

Turkish Delights #1

 

Intro:

 
Turkey is an amazing country, blessed with diversity in its landscapes, traditions, cuisine and history. The country has more than 8,000 km of coastline, including the Black Sea (Karadeniz) to the north, the Mediterranean Sea (Akdeniz) to the south, and the Aegean Sea (Ege Denizi) to the west. There are also many vast inland bodies of water; stunning lakes and beautiful rivers throughout. From mountains to seaside, rural to urban, Turkey is a country with so much to offer, and so much to explore.

Every now and again I am fortunate enough to venture out into different regions. I hope one day that I am able to take one year to discover all of its treasures - but in the meantime I hope to post some of the photos I take on my occasional journeys.
 

Bodrum Merkez (Town Centre)

 

The Bodrum peninsula is situated on the southwest coast of Turkey where the Aegean Sea meets the Mediterranean. It has many towns and villages, each with their own charm and distinction, but the main town is the eponymous Bodrum, which will be the focus of my first post.

It would be very helpful if you could reply below to let me know which (if any) of the photos you like the most. Please also reply if you have any questions or general comments; I look forward to hearing from you!

(I am not a photographer, and most of my photos are taken with an iPhone 6, so I realise my limitations. I would be really grateful for advice, suggestions and/or recommendations that the community has to offer with respect to technique, composition, equipment etc.)

Thanks for taking the time to look over my post. Please follow to see the next location.

All the best!
