Hi Pyramid.Roughly 3 hours from both Izmir and Dalaman.Izmir to Bodrum is fairly flat and from Dalaman is mountainous.Weather varies from sunny (like a UK summer !

)but not boiling ........to rainy. But thats how Bodrum peninsular keeps green....from the winter rain.A few places open (Turks eat out too !) Cinema.Sight seeing without all the tourists !Better than a UK winter
Hi pq16.Mick in the Irish Rover is fine and his wife Dilek and 2 sons are great too.They are my friends neighbours.She has 'Sues Place' Restaurant
