Open every day Ship from Uluburun sinks again A replica of the oldest known cargo carrier, Uluburun was sunk again at the same location in the Mediterranean where the wreck of the original was found. It took one hour to sink. A model of the sunken Uluburun is on exhibition in Bodrum castle. The ship sank 3,300 years ago off Antalya and is the oldest cargo carrier known in history. The replica, made by Hayrullah Kes, is 14 metres in length and 5 metres wide and cost 40.000 YTL to make and will now be used as an underwater tourist attraction. The wreck was excavated between 1984 and 1994 at Uluburun, near Kas. The excavation, revealed one of the wealthiest and largest collections of Late Bronze Age items to be found in the Mediterranean. The shipwreck was lying on a steep rocky slope at a depth of 44 to 52 metres, with artifacts scattered down to 61 metres. The main cargo, possibly belonging to royalty, included about ten tons of what appeared to be Cypriot copper in the form of 354 flat ingots and about 120 disc shaped ingots. Also on board was a ton of the earliest dated tin ingots. Dating of a small piece of presumably freshly cut firewood suggests that the ship sank in 1306 BC or shortly afterwards.

But there are some issues where it's not altogether clear whether a lawyer is needed or not Full article by Annette Ertan with her contact address you my also visit her webpage   From the Turkish parliament More rights to Turkish Women ( After being under discussion for 2 years........) Parliament approves new civil code The changes provide for a drastic change in the standing of women within marriage, giving them equal status with their husbands. November 2- The Turkish parliament has approved a series of revisions to the country's civil code, which radically alter the status of women and changing the balance of legal and traditional relations between husband and wife. Last night parliament voted to accept the changes proposed to the Turkish Civil Code, altering 116 articles of the 1030 article legislation, which has been in force for 75 years.Under the changes, the husband is no longer acknowledged as the head of the family, as was previously the case. Both men and women are given equal status within the marriage are both are able to represent the family in legal matters. Women are now allowed by law to retain their maiden name after marriage, though must still adopt their husband's name as well. After divorce, should a woman chose to do so, she is now allowed to retain her former spouse's name, if he so agrees. Wives are also entitled to have an equal say in where the family is to live, previously a decision that lay with the husband in a marriage. The legal age for marriage has also been raised, with both men and women having to be over the age of 17 before they can be wed. Previously, women could be married at age 15 and 17 for men. The principle that the husband is responsible for looking after the wife and children has been lifted, with the new code specifying that a shared financial responsibility is to be adopted. Women are also free to take up employment and to work in any profession that they chose, instead of having to seek their husband's approval to enter the work force. In the event of a marriage ending in divorce, the new code allows for the holding of a closed court session if either party so requests and for the equal sharing of assets accumulated during the time of the marriage. However, there is also allowance for other divisions of assets at the discretion of the couple involved in divorce proceedings, with contractual arrangements being made accordingly. The new civil code also recognises children born outside of wedlock as having an equal right to inheritance as those born within a marriage. The code also lowers the age at which persons can adopt, with the limit being dropped from 35 years to 30. Another amendment to the code allows the mentally retarded to wed, as long as a medical report shows that there are no impediments for the person or persons doing so.   Use of Handy and Internet on holiday Our sailing specialist Udo Hinnerkopf (another resident of Bodrum) has done a research on costs for using the mobile phone on holiday (article is in German but perhaps a friend will translate it for you) Schnell, direkt und teuer Telefonieren mit dem Handy von Bord Damit der Schock beim Kontrollieren der Telefonrechnung nach einem Segeltörn an der türkischen Küste nicht zu gewaltig ist, stellt der INSIDER einige Tabellen zusammen und ergänzt diese durch Tipps und Tricks zur Handy-Benutzung in der Türkei. The Blue Voyage is the attraction Nr.1 in Bodrum www.bluecruise.org Bodrum has long been and still is, the favorite departure point, pit-stop and arrival gate for a rather cosmopolitan yachting fraternity Whether it is the dazzling vision of gliding effortlessly along crystal-clear blue waters which incites you, or the talk and jive of the boat trip 'hustler,' there seems to be no choice -- you have to do it. As you disembark and attempt to recover your land legs, you feel pleasantly tired but somewhat better informed about the environs of your holiday destination. Memories of cool clear water sparkling in the summer sunshine linger on, and hopefully one day will bring you back again to enjoy 'the Bodrum blue'. Turgutreis is the mega street market, perhaps in its last year in its present form for fresh food and household goods, clothes and you name it every Saturday. All start early mornings.
