The inside track
Andrew Jacobs is the Australian-born General Manager of the chic Maçakizi hotel, which opened in its current location in 2001 (although the original property dates back to the 1970s). Famous for its jet-set crowd, the property has a relaxed, OutThere atmosphere.
Eat
My favourite fish restaurant is Gemibasi (132 Fırkateyn Sk) opposite Bodrum’s marina. If you like seafood, Orfoz restaurant (13 Zeki Müren Cd) is another great choice – Caglar, the owner is a friend of mine.
Mingle
Bodrum’s gay bar is called Kavalye. It’s a little place on the beach (the entrance is on Cumhuriyet Cad). It doesn’t tend to get busy until around midnight. For an early drink, Moonlight bar nearby is nice and has a diverse crowd.
Detox
LifeCo is a cleanse clinic that is popular with people who stay with us – you often see them sunbathing on our jetty with their juice drinks for the day. It’s simple, that’s why people like it. It’s not like a boot camp.
