The Bodrum Peninsula offers an intriguing atmosphere individual to you. Bodrum has a fascinating charm, with its white washed houses and sub-tropical gardens it remains one of the most largest and attractive holiday resorts in Turkey.

The heart of the town is around the harbor where shops, bars and restaurants jostle together in the narrow streets under the shadow of the castle of St. Peter. The castle is the centerpiece of Bodrum which houses The Museum of Underwater Archaeology, one of the finest museums in the Mediterranean. It is the home of many bronze age exhibits and you can see jewelry rooms, classical and Hellenistic artifacts and Byzantine relics.

The Mausoleum is the burial place of Mausolos who ruled Halicarnassos (Bodrum as it was called then) in the 4th century and has become one of the 'Seven Wonders of the Ancient World'.

The Amphitheatre which can be found in the hillside over looking Bodrum was begun by King Mausolos and modified in the Roman era. It is mostly used for the annual September festival.

Located on the west side of Bodrum you can find The Myndos Gate. This is one of the two entrances of ancient Halicarnassos and was part of the towns wall.

You will be spoilt for choice with the wide variety of things to do whether on the beach or inland. Deep water bays throughout the Bodrum coastline invite you to idyllic spots, where you can swim and snorkel. Take a gulet cruise in the daylong sunshine on the translucent blue waters and take in the spectacular scenery along the way.

This and so much more is what makes Bodrum so unique. As the fisherman of Halicarnassos said "Entering the town of Bodrum from Yokuşbaşı , no-one is ever able to foresee that leaving this town will be such an impossible thing to do".
