Bodrum


Off the Beaten Path: Traditional Craftsmen Vilage and Pastoral Life

An ideal chance to take a break from the fast modern world.

Driving inland from the coastline, you can discover a whole different world away from the bustling resorts, spend time with locals on their daily routine, enjoy a charming rural village life, eat from farm to table and learn about traditional crafts. The tranquil Etrim village about half an hour drive from Bodrum port is a fresh breath of sustainability with its dedication for human life over fast consumerism. It is located amid olive groves and pine forests and offers beautiful nature and wonderful photo opportunities. With a look at each home, villagers keep the traditional carpet-weaving craft alive effortlessly while carrying on their rural lives. 

You will enjoy genuine interactions with locals, visit them in their homes, workshops and gardens. You are welcome to roll up your sleeves and take part in cooking your own lunch cooked in baked clay ovens or over open fires. 

Walking: easy

Your guide will meet you at your hotel, at the cruise port or at another location you prefer.
