Beautiful Bodrum

-

With its huge beach resort hotels, designer shops and lively nightlife, Bodrum, on the Aegean coast, is popular with tourists from around the world. And yet hidden in its modern streets is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the ancient tomb of King Halikarnas­sos, just waiting to be explored.

Dominating the harbour, Bodrum Castle is another must-visit attraction. Built in mediaeval times by the

Knights Hospitalle­r, it now houses a very fine museum of underwater archaeolog­y.

As anywhere in Türkiye, Bodrum offers the chance of a hamam, or Turkish bath, to rejuvenate and refresh after all that sightseein­g!
