What to expect

Start things off with a visit to the stately Gumbet windmills, which overlook the bay, before heading on to the Myndos Gate – which dates back to the 4th century BC. The ruins of the gate are all that remains of a wall that once encircled ancient Halicarnassus, as Bodrum was known in ancient times. Next, you'll swing by a jewellery centre for the chance to barter your way to a great deal on gold, silver and more. When the expert jewellers dazzle you with theie items, be sure to haggle for the best price. Or if you'd prefer not to buy, just let them know.

Then you'll have a guided visit to Bodrum's theatre, which is a wonderfully preserved example of an ancient Greek public arena architecture. The rest of this Bodrum city excursion is dedicated to retail therapy, as you hunt for bargains at local leather and Turkish delight shops, before enjoying some free time to explore the city and browse the shops on your own.

would rather not go to the shopping experience and spend more time in Bodrum exploring the sights ,felt like not enough time to do this ,the owners in the shops which you are taken to seem very pushy at selling you their products ,would rather miss this out if the option was there .why not ask who would like to go shopping or just do sights

Viewing the historical sites was great but we were only given 15 - 20 minutes at each one. At the ampitheatre, by the time I'd queued up and used the toilet, I had five minutes to get a couple of photos before dashing to the coach. We expected the choppy to be more of a market than a shop where we felt trapped and harrassed by staff there. We spent more time in these places, waiting to get out.

Collected on time taken to top of hill to some “windmills” left there too long trying to encourage us to spend. Then taken to a jewellery shop where the hard sell was suffocating. You are there for an hour and if you have no interest there’s nothing else to do. I bailed at this point because the threat of the same again with Turkish delight and leather shops had me feeling like a hostage. The sight seeing is a side show to hard sell at any opportunity … absolutely horrendous

Shopping tour consists of three stops and two of them , the jewellery and leather were nothing more than hard sells , people following you around attempting to sell you goods and not taking no for a answer forcing you to be rude to get them off your back an absolutely terrible experience. Tour guide was ok but the last stop was bodrum and he then announced that the castle was at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours needed and we didn’t have enough time which angered most people as that was the main reason

Dalyan riverboat tour with lunch and Iztuzu Beach visit

Surrounding yourself with natural beauty on a river cruise from Dalyan is a great way to unwind. One of Turkey's most pristine beaches is the destination, with stops at mud baths and a riverside restaurant en route. Ceren, one of our local guides, says, "Iztuzu Beach is also known as Turtle Beach because endangered loggerhead turtles nest here. It's a magical spot with very little human interference. The beach was all set to be developed with new resorts in the 1980s, but luckily conservation was prioritised."Sail down the Dalyan River on an eco-friendly boat – which doesn't harm marine life – and have fun smoothing on the anti-ageing clay at the mud baths. It's great for glowing skin, and it's believed that Cleopatra visited for a pampering soak in the mineral-rich liquid mud. Finish with a dip in the warm sulphur pool before gliding across the river for a freshly prepared lunch of local dishes. You'll then add a little history and culture to the mix, as you continue on the riverboat past Lycian Rock Tombs – dating back to 400BC – carved into the cliffs.As the river widens into a lagoon, you'll have the chance to spot birdlife before docking at Iztuzu Beach. This four-kilometre-long sweep of golden sand divides the river from the sea, a natural oasis that's a true haven for wildlife. Sheltered by mountains, the beach shelves gently into a calm bay, where an afternoon of pure relaxation beckons. Round off your day with the return relaxing river cruise to Dalyan.What is the itinerary for this experience?

Bodrum Turkish Bath with Transport

Turkish baths are synonymous the world over with relaxation and rejuvenation. The bath house, or hammam, has been a central part of life in Turkey for centuries, and with good reason – they're a serious refresher for the mind, body and soul. Change into your swimwear in a cubicle, wrap yourself in a towel and step into the marble-tiled hammam or steam room. Relax on a heated marble bench and let the warm steam open your pores and ease the toxins from your skin. Then lie on a warm stone slab for an exfoliating body scrub, receive a bubbly foam massage, before rounding off your pampering with a 20-minute massage with essential oils – bliss (the oil massage is optional and can be selected by guests via modality). Once you've cooled off, you'll come away feeling utterly refreshed.
