The history of bodrum; known as HALIKARNASSOS goes back to the 13th century BC.Excavaties reveal the 5000 year old history of this town. Many civilizations found their home here.Carians for example, HOMER tells in his Iliada,that the Carians helped to defend TROYA. Heredotos, known as THE FATHER OF HISTORY, WAS BORN IN BODRUM in 484 BC .He said that BODRUM had been founded by the DORIANS. |

I was born in 1951, educated sociology in Istanbul University. I am a philosophy teacher in high school. I am interested in archaelogy, and visual fine arts. I have working pottery for a long time. I have organized several exhibitions; but that mostly I can't find opportunity to show my works; because I sell these unique pots and works withouth exhibition. Click here to add your text. |
I have always prefered to live in a small village, so I live in Comlekci. I left the big cities before.I think natural life is better than earning money.Of course we have some troubles in this kind of living, but you can solve your problems if you like this kind of living. That dosn't mean I dont like technology; this is my life and everybody lives his own life and ones.Life is very short.We are happy when we do things we want, without forgetting our responsibilities. I plan working more on pottery when I am retired next year. I already teach pottery in my workshop, I usually have small friendly groups and some people want private lessons, If I have time I can do it. Greetings to all my site visitors from ancient world and warm Aegean sea, from Turkey, Bodrum -Halikarnassos! Yavuz peker |

For this reason and some other main reasons; I have stopped all my art activities. I hope I will back to myself soon ...That is life... 10.11.2005 Now I can not walk and so I can not make any pot...I have Buerger disease, I losed a toe from my right foot; but now it is not going better.

"Klazomenai is also where oldest attested olive oil production installations were recently discovered. The traces indicate first exports of olive oil by way of sea as well. A local enterprise based in Urla town started producing olive oil following the same methods as in antiquity, which turned out to be quite a success in business terms."(FROM WIKIPEDIA)I live in KLAZOMENAI now, The one of the 11 ION cities; and known FIRST OLIVE OIL FABRIC ON THE WORLD was in this antic city!!!.

Klazomenai - Urla |
Located on the western coast of Asia Minor, on the Gulf of Smyrna, about 20 miles west of that city. The city was originally located on the mainland, but probably during the early fifth-century Ionian Revolt from the Persians it was moved to an island just off the coast, which Alexander the Great eventually connected to the mainland with a causeway. |
