Itinerary
Meet with your tour guide at the hotel lobby in the morning. We start our tour with Bodrum Castle. Bodrum Castle, also known as the Castle of St. John, sits high on a rocky peninsula on the site of the original Carian settlement. St. Peter's Castle is set in the harbor with five imposing towers and seven gates. The castle is home to the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology and you will visit its many fascinating displays, including the dungeon, secret museum in the Snake Tower, German and French towers, and a hall with ancient coins and jewelry. Then visit the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, where you will see the world's oldest known shipwreck, Uluburun, a hall of recovered glassware, and the Carian Princess exhibition, which evokes the last days of the ancient greatness of Halicarnassus. The Glass Wreck Hall, Late Bronze Age Shipwrecks, The Carian Princess Hall, and the amphoras. In ancient times, amphoras were used for transporting and storing olive oil and wine. Mausoleum Next, explore the site of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Mausoleum was built by Artemisia, the sister and wife of King Mausolos, in B.C. 355. The mausoleum was destroyed in an earthquake, and the ruins were used in the building of Halicarnassus Castle. All of the historical windmills near Bodrum Harbour. Windmills were made of stone and lined with wooden planks, and were used from the 18th century until the 70s by local people. They're being renovated as a tourist attraction on the hill, and our guide was stopping to take pictures. Myndos Gate. Myndos Gate is one of the two entrances to ancient Halicarnassus. This is the only surviving gate, and it was part of the town’s wall. The Myndos Gate walls are 7km long and were built by King Mausolus in the 4th century. The next stop will be the Ancient Theater of Halicarnassos, which dates back to the 4th century BC, with a capacity of 5.000. You will have some free time for shopping and then drive back to your hotel. We hope your tour was a memorable one, and we look forward to seeing you in the future on another TravelShop Booking Tour.
