Best things to do in Bodrum

Bodrum Essentials

Bodrum centers on the 15th-century Castle of St. Peter, which houses the world-renowned Museum of Underwater Archaeology. The city preserves the foundations of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the Myndos Gate, a remnant of the 4th-century BC city walls. Beyond ancient ruins, the area features historic stone windmills, a central sandy beach, and cultural sites like the former home of singer Zeki Müren and traditional Turkish markets.
