Bodrum is inhabited when it's hot. The houses in the bays are summer residences, often empty for eight months of the year, and the furnishings must withstand both: intensive use in summer and dormancy in winter.
Vacancy is a burden in itself
A closed house by the sea becomes damp and warm. Upholstery molds if air doesn't circulate, and metal tarnishes. Two things help: furniture on legs instead of plinths, allowing air to circulate underneath, and removable covers that can be taken along at the end of the season or stored dry. Everything built for outdoors tolerates this cycle significantly better.
Whitewashed needs texture, not color
The typical architecture is white, the floor is light, the light is harsh. Color quickly appears garish in this contrast. What works is texture: wicker, undyed linen, light wood, plus a single dark piece as an anchor. Rattan is the obvious choice here, for open areas in the synthetic fiber variant.
Wind and Weight
The Meltemi blows reliably in summer. Chairs and parasols need weight or must be put away in the evening, large planters in a row act as a windbreak and remain in place.
Shipping to Bodrum

Freight forwarding goods are delivered curbside. This means: to the curb in front of the address, not into the apartment and not into the installation room. If you need delivery to an upper floor, please arrange it locally; this page explains what to consider.
Import: Turkey is outside the EU. In addition to shipping costs, customs duties and import VAT, which are borne by the recipient, apply. If prepared, this extends delivery by a few days.
