I have just had the pleasure of working and staying at Macakizi in Bodrum, Turkey with Monocle Magazine. We have been shooting cruise wear for the Monocle Newspaper which is due out in the coming months.
Turkey has always had a little place in my heart and I have had many great times there, and this was no exception.
Macakizi itself is an idealic resort on the coast and combines a Turkish resort and coastline with a touch of French Riviera. This place has multiple levelled decked areas down the rock face and into the sea with stunning views from various lookout points. The main living area was designed be the same architect who is currently working on a new expansion of Bodrum airport, and this is quite apparent with its huge wing like roof made from industrial metal pillars and struts that combines a huge wooden ceiling, and has no walls which keeps the open plan feel even more open. Macakizi has also paid great attention to the food there and we were certainly treated to some great Turkish food including a variation on Manti, a Turkish Ravioli.
We got some really great images that deserves a big thank you to my team! I will post the story on here once it goes to print.
