If you like culture and history then the day trip to Ephesus would be a good one, it is a long journey though so maybe your husband wont like that. In that case you can find plenty of history and culture around Bodrum, there is the castle, the mausloleum of Halikarnassus (although there isn't very much of it left) and the ancient theatre.

The two othr site you have mentioned would also include a fair bit of travelling so it dpends on how far you do want to go.

You could do a jeep safari, that would atke you out into the countryside and is a fun day out. If you don't want to end up in water fights getting completely soaked make sure you ask for a dry tour.

Other than that if you like exploring then you could get the bus into Bodrum and get any number of other buses aorund the Peninsula, there are some lovely places to see and the bus rides are through some nice scenery. the longest bus ride would be about 30-40 minutes so not tto much travelling involved there.

I hope that has given you a few ideas.

Thank you Kedi!

I didn't realise there would be that much to see around Bodrum - that sounds promising for short ad-hoc trips.

Ephesus sounds amazing - I think he could be persuaded because it looks well worth the journey!

I don't think we'll book anything in advance - just play it by ear once we get there. I love the sound of the Jeep Safari because that was really good fun in Bali, there were no water fights (but we were caught in a monsoon!)

No, don't book anything in advance, don't book anything with your holiday rep either, it is much better to book with local travel agents in Ortakent or Bodrum.

Ooh thanks for that tip ;) We've always booked with our holiday rep in the past (although I'm not sure if we will have one this time as I think we just booked flights & accom without a tour company)
