“Everything about this experience was simply outstanding. The cuisine, the retail therapy, and most notably, the company! Melis was incredibly helpful. We savored exceptional food and visited unique shops that I would have never discovered independently! If you’re planning a trip to Bodrum, this is the ultimate experience to have a local-like experience!!”
