We believe that Bodrum Ortakent-Yahsi will become a favourite place of folk dances and such kind of festivals. With this belief we started the first festival in 2006. Our aim is to consolidate the friendship and brotherhood of all the nations. We are working hard to bring this festival , to the best festival which has done on all over the world so far.

In the center of Bodrum Peninsula, along the main highway there is this considerably large village of Ortakent which is famous for the attractive 17th century 'tower houses' unique to the area. These tower houses were built by locals for defensive purposes especially to protect themselves from the dangers coming from the sea. The  oldest house is the Mustafa Pasa tower house built  in 1601.The house, which is built over the rocks, has three floors. The house did not have any windows and doors at the lower floors was approached by a draw bridge. The main living quarters which were situated over the ground floor are the most richly decorated parts of the house.

Zor günler yaşanıyor. Kimsenin kimseye güveninin kalmadığı zor günler. İnsanlar, uluslar birbirlerine düşmüş durumda. Bir ulusu oluşturan halklar birbirlerine düşmüş durumda. Çünkü globalleşme sürecinde dünya küçülürken, insanlar birbirlerinden uzaklaştırılmış durumda. Dünya küçülürken insanların birbirlerinden uzaklaşması, çok yakınınızdakinin bile samimiyetinden kuşkulanmanızı getirdi.
