Adventures on the Aegean

When my parents came to visit, they were kind enough to take myself and several of my friends to Bodrum, a very cute resort area on Turkey’s Aegean coast. We ended up staying a bit outside the city.

It was the first weekend we had where we were able to relax and sit on a beach (or a quasi beach) and not have to worry about where we were going to travel to next. It was a really great luxury.

Alongside sitting on the beach, we also traveled to the Greek island of Kos, about 4km away from Bodrum.

Kos was a very pretty island with lots of Roman ruins as well as lots of things dedicated to Hippocrates as that was his birthplace. We ended up walking around the city for a bit until starting our (what else?) food tour. We had some gyros, Greek baklava (which is incredibly inferior to Turkish baklava) and iced coffee. It was a very nice, short day trip.

I know this blog entry is incredibly short, but we really didn’t do much that weekend. It was, like I said, a very relaxing time that was pretty necessary for all of us before we started exams.
