Highlights
Bodrum Castle
The pretty harbour town of Bodrum is dominated by The Castle of St Peter that dates from the 15th century. The UNESCO World-Heritage listed landmark offers travellers an insight into Turkey’s colourful and cultured history, with some assets dating back to the 4th century B.C. Today, the castle is also home to the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, one of the most significant museums of its type in the world.
Bodrum Old Town
Although Bodrum offers plenty of luxurious hotels and resorts, the Old Town maintains its quintessential charm with cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings. A haven for photographers, these picturesque alleyways lead to shops and stalls selling souvenirs, crafts, clothing and fabrics.
Kara Ada
Accessible by boat, the tiny island of Kara Ada lies at the entrance of the Bodrum harbour. The island is home to healing mineral springs and presents a wonderful escape from the mainland for a few hours of relaxation.
