TEMPUS VOLTA :: TEN DAYS IN BODRUM :: Ten Days in Bodrum explores a seaside town on the Aegean coast of Turkey. A place steeped in nearly four millennia of history, Bodrum was the home of the Dorian Greeks, the Persians, the empire of Alexander the Great, the crusading Knights of Saint John, and the Ottoman Turks. In the 21st century, Bodrum serves as one of the main vacation hubs for city dwelling Turks in the summer, as it has shifted from a port hub for maritime empires to the crown jewel of the Turkish Riviera. Ten Days in Bodrum takes you through the side streets and solitude of a town that has boomed throughout the last 100 years of the Turkish Republic.
