At A Glance
Bodrum's most striking feature is the medieval castle which stands over the entrance to Bodrum bay, a meeting point for both the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. The views and sunsets are absolutely stunning. As is the choice of attractions and things to do. As well as sun worshipping there are lots of charming shops, bars and historical attractions you can visit while you take in the breathtaking surroundings such as the impressive waterfront, dotted with palm trees and its festoon of yachts in the marina. Just outside Bodrum's main centre you can swim in tranquil seas and explore the many amazing rock formations which make up the coastline. This interesting coast holds delights too for underwater divers and lovers of marine life.

Attractions
Bodrum Castle and Museum
The central harbour is surrounded by shops, cafes, bars and hotels but these are dwarfed by the impressive 15th Century castle. The Castle of St Peter was built by The Knights of Rhodes in 1402 but has been reinforced by the Italians, English, Germans and French, who all added towers. It was taken over by the Turks finally in 1523 and now houses a must see exhibit, its underwater museum.
Amphitheater
This 13,000 seater arena is pre Roman although developed and used by the Romans. There are rock tombs nearby and above providing a spectacular setting as well as a breathtaking selection of views across the city.
Myndus Gate
This western city gate was built by Mausolus in 364 BC. It has been restored in recent years as are other surviving parts of the grand city wall. This impressive entrance is composed of four towers. It stood firm against Alexander the Great.
Ottoman Tower
This great tower was built 1794 as a lookout and to protect Ottoman naval ships from pirate raids. The tower has undergone restoration during which remains of Roman baths were found.
