Mausoleum: This is Bodrum's oldest antiquity and was built by Artemisia II in honour of her husband King Mausolos. The monumental tomb became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. After the Mausoleum was destroyed by an earthquake in the 12th century, an exhibition about what the Mausoleum probably looked like, together with a large model, provided a vivid lesson on the history of the area which was then called Halicarnassus.

Amphi Theatre: The theatre is further evidence of the great past of Bodrum. Situated in the hillside overlooking Bodrum this theatre whose capacity is around 13.000 was built during the Carian reign in the Hellenistic age (330 - 30 BC). The theatre consists of three different sections: a place for the audience, a place for an orchestra and the stage. It became an open-air museum after the excavations in 1973.

St. Peter's Castle: The most prominent feature of Bodrum is the castle of St. Peter. The castle's origins date back to the knights of St. John but now it is one of the finest museums in this region and it also offers wonderful views of the town and sea. The castle contains several mighty towers, a chapel, dungeon and Turkish bath, all set in gardens and linked by steep steps and passageways.

Dilek National Park: Located just 22 kms from the peaceful resort of Kadikalesi lies the Dilek National Park. A stunningly beautiful and mountainous nature reserve which offers perfect walking and riding opportunities as well as unspoilt coves for swimming.

Ephesus: Widely regarded as the best-preserved classical city in the eastern Mediterranean the site is about 160 kms North of Bodrum and can be reached in approximately two and a half hours by bus. A city once renowned throughout the Classical world as a major trading port, it was a metropolis of approximately 250,000 inhabitants as well as a major religious and cultural centre. It was also the home of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
