5. Where to watch the flamingos? Tuzla Waterland, Boğaziçi VillageIf you haven't seen a flamingo before, we advise you to head to the airport 1 hour earlier and see the nearby Tuzla Waterland. The Waterland is on the migration route of flamingos, pelicans, and many other local birds, and was deemed as an extremely important bird region in 2001 by the IBA (Important Bird Area). Birds appear in wintertime there but you can still see them around Boğaziçi, Bodrum. On top of a low hill, there is a desolate home which we are familiar with from some Turkish TV series. Some say this house was a theater, and some others think it was a Greek police station."Hey, someone is over there looking at us"Photo

Duly noted: We don't know exactly what is the background story of this desolate home, but we have some ideas as to what it might be.

A natural dance floor where you can dance with flamingos to the gentle music of your choice.

A gathering area to dig into the black-eyed peas with garlic and olive oil sauce.

A point of exploration where you can take photos of that desolate home.
