View of Bodrum Castle built by the Order of St. John taken from my friend Brook's mother's home.

Large and luxurious yachts that crowd the Bodrum harbor. A traveler is able to hire one and the captain will take you around the Greek Islands for the day.

A well tanned jet set comes from all over Europe to experience the Bodrum day and night.

These local guys hit the bar very early in the morning.

The Bodrum Express hydrofoil speeds passengers to the nearby Greek island of Kos almost every day. On a clear day Kos is visable on the horizon.

From the ramparts of St. Johns castle. The central location on the bay provided excellent protection of Bodrum for hundreds of years. Unfortunately the castle was shelled in WWI and is greatly restored.

Thanks to George Bass and INA, St. Johns castle now holds The Museum of Underwater Archaeology. The various rooms of the museums are dedicated to the many artifacts that have been collected from underwater dives. The guard was very angry when I took this photo (I hadn't seen the sign). This is the "glass wreck" raised from off the coast of Turkey in the vicinity of Bozukkale by Dr. George Bass of Texas A&M University with Turkish cooperators in 1977. Many pieces of glassware were onboard and have been recovered.

Believe it or not, this the same view of Bodrum as on the top of this page. It is amazing what a photo editor can do to remove unwanted items such as telephone poles and wires.
