Stacey's Little Black Book of Bodrum.
I grew up in Bodrum, spending my teenage years and much of my adulthood in this place. Over time, it became more than just where I lived. It became a part of who I am.
The corners I send my friends to. The breakfast spots, the boat captains, the olive oil farm, the village markets, the quiet beaches you have to know about to find.
I've been returning to Bodrum since 1991. This is the first time I've put everything I know in one place. Not a printout, but a private guide that lives on your phone: my films of these places, every recommendation pinned to the map, and the corners I would send a friend to. It keeps growing as Bodrum does.
A guide, not a list.
Led by the seasons
A guide that follows the rhythm of Bodrum through the year: what changes, what stays, when to go.
Where to stay, by season
Boutique hotels in rustic Old Town Bodrum, and the new super-luxe stays in Türkbükü, chosen for the time of year.
Peninsula restaurants
The places I return to, season by season, with Google Map pins so you can find them yourself.
Old Town & Türkbükü
Two sides of the peninsula: the rustic, lived-in Bodrum and the polished, super-luxe stretch up the coast.
Map additions
Every recommendation pinned to Google Maps so the guide travels with you on your phone, ready when you are.
Photography & footage
Vibrant photography and short films from my own returns, so you can feel the place before you go.
Films from Bodrum
Short films shot across the peninsula, playing as you read. The coves, the boat days, the long breakfasts, so you can feel a place before you choose it.
In English and Turkish
The complete guide in both languages, switched with one tap. One purchase covers both.
Yours, and kept current
Your own private link, prepared for you. Bodrum changes every season, and so does the guide, at no extra cost.
