I've been told that in Turkey, Bodrum has a reputation as the place to go for wild behavior that elsewhere wouldn't be allowed on religious grounds. There's an all night very loud nightclub, men and women wear shorts on city street, gay couples openly hold hands in public, and women sunbathe topless on public beaches right in the city, next to a public sidewalk. [I don't consider these examples to be bad, but I've been told by people from Turkey that they wouldn't be acceptable--or just wouldn't be done--in Istanbul or Ankara. Yet you also see women in traditional modest dress; I've been told that they come from villages in eastern Turkey to work in very low level jobs in the area.]
