Bodrum Town
An elegant seaside town on Turkey's south west coast, Bodrum is home to upmarket restaurants, exclusive nightlife venues and beautiful boutique hotels, making it a popular summer destination for Turkey's elite. Despite its glamour, Bodrum still oozes an undeniable charm, home to twisting, white-washed side streets lined with shops, as well as its crowning castle, built back in the early 15th century.
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Built between 353 and 350 BC, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Built by Artemisia after her husband and the ruler of Caria, Mausolus, died, she was said to have been so heartbroken that she hired the very best artists to create the most magnificent tomb in the world. Indeed, the sculptures that adorned it were built by the four leading artists of the time - Scopas, Bryaxis, Leochares and Timotheus. Located in modern day Bodrum, the ancient ruins are easily accessed from the charming town.
