08 Ionian Coast Info (from Ian Davis, summary of responses he received to his survey) (Visiting Turkiye)

Shopping:
Bodrum is one of the most expensive towns to shop in (40% more expensive
than Istanbul).Buying anything must bargin until the shop keeper gives up.
If you are looking for more expensive souvenirs, its worth while traveling
to other less well know towns in the area.

Places to see:
The castle in Bodrum ( rebuilt by the knights of St John) is worth a visit.

Troy- the famous city is within traveling distance of Bodrum, mostly ruined
but still worth a visit.

Bergama-site of one of the seven original churches mentioned in the bible.
Has nice amphitheater,some pillars still standing, nice arches and a few
mosiacs
Efes-site of another one of the seven churches,Paul lived here. Is very
well
preserved, very good amphitheater, a library, roads of marble and is said
to be a very exceptional site, comes highly recommended.

These places are only the tip of the iceberg.
