Jack from Perking the Pansies

Jack describes himself as a diminutive, washed up ex-pretty boy living in Turkey.  He keeps himself off the streets by recounting his expat observations about the mad, sad, bad and glad of the Bodrum Peninsula.  Between bouts of blogging on Perking the Pansies, Jack tears himself away from the keyboard long enough to enjoy lunching, strolling, wading and sinking.

Read his Top 5 recommendations, based on his extended stay on the Bodrum Peninsula:

Lunch at La Pasion Restaurant in Bodrum for 13 lira*

Stroll up to old Sandima from Yalikavak in the spring

Bring in the New Year in Bodrum

Wade through the shallow waters to Rabbit Island in Gümüşlük

Sink tequilas with the locals in Meyhane Sokak, Bodrum in July

 

*(In June 2011 the price was advertised for 18 lira – follow the La Pasion hyperlink for a view of their menu’s.)
