Itinerary

Bodrum Castle

one hour Admission not included

Bodrum Castle (Saint Peter's Castle)

One of Bodrum's most iconic structures, Bodrum Castle was built by the Knights of St. John in the 15th century. One of the best-preserved medieval castles on the Aegean coast, the structure has carried traces of different cultures with the addition of a mosque during the Ottoman period. While there are different sections such as French, English, German and Italian towers inside the castle, visitors can enjoy the magnificent view of the Aegean Sea. In addition to being a military structure, the castle is one of the most important symbols of Bodrum's cultural and historical identity today.
Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology

30 min Admission not included

Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum

The Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum, located inside Bodrum Castle, is considered one of the most important underwater museums in the world. The museum, which exhibits artifacts unearthed from shipwreck excavations in the Aegean and Mediterranean, sheds light on maritime history. Among the most striking exhibitions in the museum are: Uluburun Shipwreck (one of the oldest shipwrecks in the world, dating back to the 14th century BC), Glass Shipwrecks Collection, Amphorae, jewelry and objects related to seafaring, and shipwrecks from the Ottoman and Roman periods.
Myndos Gate

30 min

Myndos Gate, which is part of the defensive walls of ancient Halicarnassus (Bodrum), was built by King Mausolus. This is one of the points where Alexander the Great encountered the greatest resistance when he tried to conquer the city in 334 BC. The remains of the gate include ancient city walls, moats and buried tomb structures. Myndos Gate, one of the most important historical remains of Bodrum's ancient past, is a point not to be missed for history enthusiasts.
Windmills

30 min

One of the symbols of Bodrum, Bodrum Windmills were built in the 18th century and were used for wheat milling in the region for many years. Located between Bodrum and Gumusluk, these historical mills offer a fascinating view, especially at sunset.
Bodrum Ancient Theatre

30 min

One of the oldest structures in Bodrum, Bodrum Ancient Theatre was built in the 4th century BC during the reign of King Mausolus of Caria. The structure, which has the typical features of Hellenistic period theatres, has a capacity of 13,000 people and still hosts concerts and events today. The view from the theatre towards Bodrum Castle and the Aegean Sea offers a unique atmosphere to visitors.
