After six days of resorts, sightseeing and traveling our final visit is to a small, sleepy rural village just 30 minutes from Bodrum where the pace of life is very different from the resorts. Here you will visit the old Mosque, meet some of the locals in their homes and see some of the handiwork of the villagers.
