This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Bodrum District, Bodrum District, Mugla Province, Turkish Aegean Coast
Leave your centrally located Bodrum hotel by open-top 4×4 jeep — a Suzuki model — and then travel into the heart of the Bodrum Peninsula’s countryside. Relax as your guide drives, and gaze out over the landscape, admiring sweeping pine forests, picture-perfect bays and sleepy coastal villages.
Your first stop is in Ciftlikkoy, one of the aforementioned villages that’s typified by pretty stone farmhouses and fig tree-speckled fields. Enjoy a coffee break in the sun (own expense), and then travel further inland, passing through the mountains, to the peninsula’s highest peak. Stop for photos and drink in the powerful panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Continue traveling through the laid-back mountain village of Etrim where carpets are made, and then pass into Mumcular village. As you travel between villages and along the meandering country paths, your guide will share stories about day-to-day life on the beautiful Bodrum Peninsula.
Enjoy a break of roughly an hour for lunch and swimming in the small town of Mazi, an unspoiled town that sits atop a gloriously secluded cove. After a BBQ lunch, slip on your bathing suit and take a refreshing dip in the sea before continuing to explore the area.
In the afternoon, travel off-road through the shaded forests, breathing in the scent of the fragrant pine leaves as you look out for wildlife and flowers. Your route through the cool forest paths leads toward Bodrum, and your tour finishes with a hotel drop-off in the early evening.
