I'm willing to bet that you'll get a much better exchange rate if you trade your currency for Turkish lira at a bank. If your hotel does agree to make the exchange for you it's almost certain that they will not give you the best rate.

Definately take lira, the exchange rate is great - only take enough to get by and change anything else in Bodrum where you will get a beter exchange rate than outside the country. Weather is starting to get hot in June but is much more bearable than the 40 degrees you may encounter in August!
Boat trips tpo the many beatiful bays leave from many departure points on the marina. There are also visits to great archaeological sites like Ephesus (your hotel/tour company can help arrange this - do not go with the cheaper options in the town I made this mistake once!!).
The Kervansaray is in between Bodrum and Gumbet the sister resort down the coast - spend some time in both for 2 very different holiays - younger people in Gumbet and great bars, more history in Bodrum and also nice bars on bar street.
There is a very poor beach area in Bodrum but nearby alternatives are Gumbet and Bardaci Beach. Bodrum is a wicked place to visit with some brilliant sea food restaurants and lovely places to drink.
Both Bodrum and Gumbet liven up after 9pm. Try and visit Halikarnas Open air night club - its an experience. Have a great time :-)
