Grauman's Chinese theatre

posted by pvanleer on 19 October 2010 at 10:20

This place is quite a testament to the generally culturally confused kitsch of Los Angeles. It was built by Graumann in the 1920s after the success of his Egyptian theatre. In fairness to him it is fairly well engineered and looks almost authentic. Definitely worth a visit for sheer wierdness. Also be sure to check out the footprints of the stars outside!

The Golden Knife

posted by gschuth on 19 October 2010 at 10:10

Given how many shabby dining establishments there are trying to rip you off in Gumbet, this place is a real breath of fresh air. Its in the middle of the bay on the beach and has lovely views and serves some great steaks.

Art Bodrum Hotel

posted by mholts on 19 October 2010 at 10:05

This is a fairly dire hotel and one to avoid at all costs. It's generally dificult getting what you've paid for, the standard of service is quite exeptionally low and the food is absolutely foul - don't even think about it!

20 mins from central Bodrum

Parkim Ayaz

posted by htodd on 19 October 2010 at 10:01

We stayed at Parkim Ayaz when we went to Gumbet and I'd like to warn any other tourists considering this option against it. It's a horrible place: unfriendly, dirty and noisy. there was no room in the pool for all the guests. The beach looked like it had never been cleaned and a lot of the resort was just frankly unhygenic.

La Almudaina

posted by gdiller on 21 September 2010 at 15:41

La Almudaina is a 13th century Moorish fortress with some gothic elements to it. There are some beautiful gardens surrounding the palace and you can see a Miro sculpture here. Inside the palace is some much older art - paintings, tappestries, carvings etc... There is some information dotted around the palace so that you can learn a bit about the history of the building.

the Almudaina overlooks the marina.
