Bodrum Half Day Walking City Tour

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. Explore the site of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Mausoleum was built by Artemisia, the sister and the wife of King Mausolos, in B.C. 355. The mausoleum was destroyed in an earthquake and the ruins were used in the building of the Halikarnassus Castle. Windmills. All of the historical windmills near Bodrum harbour 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 stops 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 7 km long and were built by King Mausolus in the 4th century. Antique Theatre.
