Türkbükü

One of the strongest aspects of Orkide's cuisine is its commitment to simplicity. The appetizer counter — and everything else — avoids heavy sauces and elaborate techniques.

The Rabbit Island, off the Türkbükü and Gündoğan regions of the Aegean province of Muğla's Bodrum district, has been put up for sale online for 220.2 million Turkish Liras ($11.8 million).

The sale advertisement of the island located 16 miles away from Bodrum was published on an online real estate platform with the title "Island for sale in the magnificent bay of Gündoğan."

Prince Rudolf, nephew of the king of Liechtenstein, and his Turkish wife, Tılsım Tanberk, have chosen the Bodrum district of the Aegean province of Muğla to spend their vacation, according to daily Milliyet.

"The couple spent all day swimming at the world-renowned Türkbükü beach," the daily reported on Sept. 1.

People in droves have thronged to the famous resort town of Bodrum in the southwestern province of Muğla on the Aegean coast during the long Eid al-Adha holiday, causing traffic jams on the roads.

With yacht owners racing for a good spot to anchor their vessels in surrounding bays during their stay, the town's shoreline has become overcrowded as well.

Wild boars searching for food up and down the streets almost every day are living side by side with locals in the southwestern province of Muğla in the district of Bodrum. 

Another Band-Aid solution to the crippling tourism in Turkey's coastline was to extend Eid al-Adha to 10 days. More than twice the time Prophet Mohammad had ordered. The purpose is to fill the hotels in the south for double the price they would normally charge. But would it really help?

The Russian businessman of Azeri origin Farkhad Akhmedov visited the Aegean province of Muğla on holiday with his family on Aug. 13.

The 62-year-old businessman enjoyed the Bodrum bay from the Turkish resort.

Photographs of him swimming and diving in the sea have been captured. Akhmedov also took a sunbath with his wife Tatyana and their three children.
