Zeki Muren Arts Museum

Have you ever been to the Zeki Müren Arts Museum in the centre of Bodrum? If you have, then you’ll recognise the photos and some of the stories we’re about to relay here. If not, then let us tell you about this fantastically famous Turkish icon and why we decided to go and visit his former home…

Bodrum centre is famed for its pretty scenery, its historic castle, quaint cafes, swanky expensive bars and restaurants. And, of course, its (very probably) world famous outdoor nightclub, Halikarnus. The town’s reputation for uber-noisy nightlife means other attractions can be overlooked. We skipped out on Bodrum visits for many years after one noisy summer weekend visit many moons ago.
