Why do it?
Zeki Müren spent his last years in Bodrum, and his house is now a museum of his stage costumes, piano and belongings. It explains something about the town’s place in Turkish cultural life that no ruin can.
The Smileys Take
If the name means nothing to you, that's the reason to go. An hour in this house explains more about modern Turkish life than any ruin on the peninsula — it's kept much as he left it, and it's small enough that an hour is genuinely enough. Put something of his on for the walk over.
Good to know
- Small house museum — an hour is plenty.
