From the purely practical to the richly philosophical
There’s more to it than meets the eye. It’s when it meets the heart that travelling creates a meaningful, lasting connection with other people.
“Our only week long holiday of island hopping, biking and all around the Dodecanese Islands of Greece and Bodrum " Ancient Halicarnassus" Turkey.”
In Bodrum and environs, there are plenty of great trails in and around the high mountains, as seen in the distance from the hotels' balconies. Things that you do not have a chance to get near unless you are "off road" and on foot.
