    Some people have complained about the music and asked why I didn't use Turkish music. The reason is that there are restrictions regarding music that is used in videos for RUclips. Basically, you can't use any music that is copyrighted or your video will be demonetized. So most RUclipsrs, including myself, get the music they use from certain sources that offer music that isn't copyrighted, for example the RUclips audio library which offers free music for RUclipsrs to use. Plus I pay a monthly fee for Epidemic Sound, a website that creates music that can be used in RUclips videos. Point being, you are limited by what you can find from those few sources of music. And unfortunately there often isn't music that is specific to certain countries, so you have to use something else. I searched for Turkish music, but there was nothing distinctly Turkish. Here's a video with more info about using music in RUclips videos: ruclips.net/video/vVXMfASGaUs/видео.html

      All of Turkey is full of antiquities of ancient Greece and Alexander the Great. The guides boldly report that they were made by "ancient Turks"! But the Turks were populations that appeared in the area a thousand years ago today. It is nothing made of their "culture". Everything was made by the peoples who slaughtered.

      you are such a liar, first of all no one in the Balkans is racist against darker skin people,Greeks themselfs do have dark skin kinda mostly because of the sun and all this oil they put on their skin during the summer,attetokumbo himself is an afro American just like thanasis attetokumbo ane they both got all the help they needed from the Greeks when they were young, there are racists in all places,I am an Albanian and even tho Albanian Greek relationship isn't at its best still I've never incountered racism,also I do not remember the Swedish colonizing Africa ,and for an African would be very hard to even live in Sweden due to the temperatures,just like I couldn't live in Africa for example because my skin isn't prepared for such a hight temperatures and I would basically get sunburn all the time,it's ok if you hate a country,it's your choice afterall,but do not say bull$h|t

    A better title for your video is: a tour in Bodrum city old center | is it worth it?
    Bodrum has plenty of beautiful bays, each with their own characteristics. Like Gündogan, Türkbükü, Akyarlar, Gümüslük,..
    The title of your video does not represent the video content, as you claim a TOUR Of Bodrum, but actually you just walked around a bit in the old city center.
    However, Bodrum doesn't need more PR as it is crowded enough during high season.

      @andrex3954 5 лет назад +13

      You are so mistaken... Never occupied by Greeks! Because its simply the Greeks land; because the Greeks were there since ever, no one was living there except Greeks from the beginning, neither Greeks never conquered any other nation in this region of the world during ancient times, even prehistoric period. Therefore, Greeks were there from the beginning with their most great civilization, mathematics, astronomy, health and sciences! Of course before Romans, before Persians come to conquer Greeks... Its so easy to learn today all about the history and facts I referred to you.

      @TheHuski 5 лет назад +1

      Mar Kav Correct to a point... Ancient Greeks ruled the region but there were other tribes scattered all over the region. We must not forget the people from other regions traveled for trade and some settled there.. I agree the Persians came much later, after they themselves were defeated earlier by Alexander. The entire region of Italy, Greece, Turkey had many ruling cultures over time..

    Thank you for another excellent video.
    I have been inspired by your videos to travel through eastern Europe from north to south. A month ago I flew from England to Estonia and I have been travelling by coach and train via Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and am currently in Budapest, Hungary with Greece my ultimate destination.
    I'm not tech savvy but I hope to use some old fashioned technology and write up my journey after the event.
    As a newbie to these trips I'm surprised how physically demanding they are, all my belongings on my back like a snail with its shell, lots of walking which takes its toll on the legs. I'm impressed that you can keep this up month in month out year after year.
    Best wishes, Mike.

      That's awesome man, enjoy the journey. Depending on when you get to Greece it might be low season, which can be good. Things will still be happening through most of October, but by the end of October it will be pretty dead on the islands. Still can be fun to explore without many other people around and accommodation will be cheaper. A lot of places will be closed though.

    17:40 it is called "sarnıç" in Turkish and it is basically used to collect rain water for summer since ancient times. Bodrum's Sarnıç's are mostly dated back to 200 years or so. You can find it all around Bodrum. They are not in use right now because of modern plumbing system but some still filled with water. It also keep water very cold and they had significant temperature difference from outside so they sometimes used as fridges like purposes as well.
