00:00Je suis Lili Douse et c'est Grand Voyager.
00:04Dans cette série, je vis le monde à découvrir des places incroyables
00:09de culture, de luxe et d'adventure.
00:13Parfois, je rencontre les gens,
00:16j'écoute les flavours et j'écoute les moments
00:19qui rendent chaque destination unforgettable.
00:27Aujourd'hui, je visse à la sud-ouest de Turquie,
00:31un endroit pour la riche heritage et la merveilleuse.
00:37Merhaba et bienvenue à Bodrum.
00:40Dans cette épisode, je vais découvrir l'ancienne historie,
00:44l'Agean charm et la craftsmanship
00:47qui fait ce place vraiment magique.
00:50Je vais commencer mon voyage dans le centre de Bodrum.
00:54En ancien temps, c'était la capitale
00:57de un pays puissant d'anglais.
00:59Dominant la coastline, c'est Bodrum Castle,
01:02un cruce de fort créé par les Knights de Saint-Jean.
01:06Nous appelons cette castle Saint-Péter.
01:08Parce que Saint-Jean knights aussi avaient respect à Saint-Péter.
01:12Et puis ils disaient que nous appelons cette ville Petronium,
01:16la ville de Petre.
01:18C'était une de plusieurs chrétiens strongholds
01:22établiqués par les Knights de la région.
01:25Les Knights viennent de l'Europe,
01:27et cette mixe de nationalités est encore visible aujourd'hui.
01:31C'est l'un des plus importantes chrétiens.
01:34C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:01C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:04C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:31C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:33C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:36C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:41C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:44C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
02:58C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
03:14C'est l'un des plus importants chrétiens.
03:18Bienn twenty is mitoda-grétiens…
03:21…encore un déchart vers Bodrim une autre décharté depuis ailé de L histories.
03:28Les mills ont été créés à 350 ans et à 250 ans.
03:33Le purpose de la mille est de miller le wheat,
03:36et de s'envoyer à la bakerie, et de faire des brètes pour les sailors.
03:41Ces mills remained active
03:43jusqu'à la 1920s,
03:45quand l'électricité a été introduite.
03:47Aujourd'hui, ils sont devenus symboles de Bodrum's heritage.
03:54Bodrum is a place shaped by its coastline
03:57and its connection to the sea.
03:59During my time here,
04:01I'm staying at Six Senses Caponclaya,
04:03a luxury wellness resort
04:05located just north of the city.
04:08Set between the hills and the sea,
04:11it's designed to blend in with nature.
04:14Inside, rock sculptures and large windows
04:17make the outdoors feel close by.
04:20The vision of Six Senses
04:22is to allow the guests to reconnect with themselves,
04:26reconnect with nature.
04:28Our biggest mission is to create a platform
04:32that guests can enjoy,
04:34get rid of the daily anxieties,
04:37sit under the trees,
04:39enjoy the whispers of the Aegean Sea
04:42and also the sound of the waves.
04:45After exploring the garden,
04:46I head to my suite.
04:48It's bright and spacious,
04:51but it's the views that take centre stage.
04:54With peaceful areas like this,
04:57the suite feels like a private retreat all to myself.
05:01When you just want to take a break and relax,
05:04this really is the most epic spot.
05:07Next, I head down to the hotel's wellness area,
05:11which includes pools,
05:12hammams and treatment rooms.
05:15My visit begins with a one-to-one screening
05:18to learn more about my health and wellbeing.
05:20A sports scientist guides me through a series of tests,
05:24from checking my blood pressure
05:26to measuring my body composition.
05:29It gives me a clearer picture of my overall health
05:32and where I can make improvements.
05:35I then have a facial to cleanse and hydrate my skin,
05:39giving me a chance to slow down,
05:41relax and enjoy a quiet moment.
05:45Afterwards, I explore the hotel's gardens
05:47where fresh produce is grown for the restaurants.
05:51Overlooking the sea,
05:52I get to taste some of those ingredients,
05:55alongside locally caught seafood.
05:58Having fresh fish and amazing hummus by the sea,
06:02this really is the perfect getaway.
06:07Olive trees have shaped Turkey's landscape
06:09for thousands of years.
06:12Just north of Bodrum is an organic olive farm
06:15near the village of Shenkoi.
06:17Here I meet a local producer
06:18to learn more about olive growing.
06:21How many trees would you say there are here in this village?
06:25Just in the village around one million.
06:27And how many people are there?
06:29300.
06:29300 people and a million olive trees.
06:32Yeah.
06:32So plenty more olives than there are people.
06:35Yeah.
06:36The annual harvest here takes place in October,
06:38when the olives are ripe for picking.
06:41How many olives does it take to make a litre of olive oil?
06:46Oh, approximately six kilos.
06:48That's a lot of olives to be picking.
06:50Once collected, the olives are quickly pressed
06:53to preserve their freshness and flavour.
06:56They're very unique looking trees as well
06:58with the trunk system.
07:00These trees can survive long periods of droughts
07:03and some are believed to be up to 500 years old.
07:07After exploring the olive grove, Noyn invites me to his home
07:12to taste some of his locally produced oil.
07:14While tasting olive oil, you're looking for three main components.
07:18The fruitiness, the bitterness and the pungency.
07:20We begin the experience by taking in the aromas.
07:25This one has an amazing smell to it.
07:28As we taste the oil, I pick up hints of nuts and black pepper.
07:33We try several varieties, each with its own unique flavour.
07:38Next, I head into the kitchen.
07:41So, since you've tasted all of these amazing olive oils,
07:43I thought I'd show you a dish that uses them.
07:45So, today we're going to be making the classic stuffed grape leaves
07:48known as sarma in Turkish.
07:50We start by preparing the filling.
07:53Combining bulgur wheat with herbs, spices, onions, garlic,
07:57homemade vegetable paste and plenty of olive oil.
08:01Once the stuffing is ready, we're going to roll them
08:04in these preserved grape leaves and also stuff our zucchini blossoms.
08:08After we prepare our rolls, we gently simmer them in water.
08:13Once ready, we head outside to enjoy them together.
08:16So, here we go.
08:18Wow.
08:20Smelling amazing looking, I mean.
08:23Tasting this classic Turkish dish with new friends
08:26is the perfect way to end my time in this part of Turkey.
08:30From the olive trees to the plate, it's been simply delicious.
08:37Turkey's Aegean coast is known for its rugged hills and historic monuments.
08:43To explore them, I'm heading out on a boat with a local resident.
08:48This is one of the most incredible coastlines.
08:51What's so special about the Aegean Sea?
08:53It's people, it's color, the green behind it and all the ancient history hidden all around the background.
09:02We are now in the ancient region of Caria that lies south of Ephesus and all the way towards the
09:10ancient Kaunos.
09:11And it's been, for a few thousand years, the center of civilization.
09:17It's great for swimming because of the temperatures.
09:20You can swim all year round.
09:21The Aegean coast is full of hidden caves and clear waters.
09:26The boat trip has shown me more of this historic region, but there still is so much more to discover.
09:34Leaving the Aegean Sea behind, we change into our sports gear and head to Lake Baffa to explore some ancient
09:41ruins by e-bike.
09:42So here we are, right next to Lake Baffa.
09:46And we are here at the village of Kapukurum, which is the ancient name of Heraclea.
09:51You can see some of the ruins around here.
09:53Actually over there, all around us, right behind us are the ruins.
09:58So what makes this place special is the combination of all.
10:01We set off along the shoreline, cycling between huge rock formations.
10:07As we ride, we see more of what remains of the ancient city.
10:11So the mountains that surround this area are called the Latmos Mountains.
10:15It was very famous in the ancient times.
10:17And the lake was actually a harbor. It was connected to the sea.
10:21And the city here, called Heraclea, was once a port city.
10:25It was surrounded with city walls like two kilometers all around the mountain.
10:31And it would take the olives and all the goods from the mountains to the port
10:35and then ship them all across the Mediterranean and the Aegean.
10:39Most of the ruins are from the 4th century BC.
10:44We continue along the cycle trail, passing olive trees and even a herd of grazing cows.
10:51The e-bikes make it much easier to cycle through the rocky terrain
10:55and to see some sights up close.
10:57I just want to show you something cool.
11:00It will be a temple dedicated to Endinion.
11:05It's about a myth for the moon goddess falling in love with the local shepherd.
11:11And this temple is thought to be dedicated to this local shepherd.
11:16A love story.
11:18It's a pretty amazing temple for a love story.
11:20Yeah.
11:22Exploring Lake Baffa by e-bike is a unique way to experience its stunning landscapes and incredible history.
11:29Surrounded by the mountains and ancient ruins, it's been a ride to remember.
11:35Bodrum has been full of history and adventure.
11:38And this feels like the perfect way to end my time here.
11:43There really is so much to explore here in Bodrum.
11:47From stunning landscapes to ancient architecture and incredible cuisine.
11:53But now, time for my next adventure.
11:5710th I'm one of the most parcels.
11:5710th I was asleep at early on a year atравствing all my years.
11:59The end of childhood has ever been astounding in the past.
11:59I see you at the end of the house mend.
