Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

Rising proudly between two harbors in the jewel of the Aegean, Bodrum Castle is far more than a mere stone fortress — it is a silent witness to centuries of history.

Built in the early 15th century by the Knights of St. John, the castle was designed as a stronghold against pirate attacks. Its five towers — the French, Italian, German, English, and Spanish — reflect its uniquely international character. Over time, especially during the Ottoman era, the castle served various roles, even functioning as a prison for a period. Today, it houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, inviting visitors on a journey through time with its striking architecture and artifacts spanning thousands of years.

Myndos Gate: The Timeless Guardian of Bodrum's Past

Standing proudly at the western edge of Bodrum, Myndos Gate is one of the last surviving remnants of the ancient city of Halikarnassos — and it has stories to tell.

Built in the 4th century BC by Mausolos, the powerful ruler of Caria, this monumental gate once guarded the city's most strategic entrance. It took its name from the road leading to the ancient city of Myndos (now Gümüşlük), and its walls witnessed one of history’s fiercest battles: the siege of Halikarnassos by Alexander the Great in 334 BC.

With its deep trenches and towering watchtowers, the gate held strong — a testament to the brilliance of ancient military architecture.

Today, restored and open to visitors, Myndos Gate invites you to walk in the footsteps of warriors, rulers, and legends. It’s not just a stone structure — it’s a journey into a forgotten world waiting to be discovered.

Bodrum Windmills: A Scenic Glimpse into the Past

Perched on the hills between Bodrum and Gumbet, the iconic Bodrum Windmills date back to the 18th century. Once used to grind grain using the Aegean breeze, these whitewashed, stone structures offer a charming view into the region’s rural heritage.

Though no longer in operation, they remain a favorite stop for visitors seeking panoramic views of the coastline, especially at sunset. A perfect blend of history, tradition, and breathtaking scenery

Bodrum Amphitheater: Where Echoes of Antiquity Still Resonate

Carved into the hillside overlooking the Bodrum harbor, the Ancient Theater of Bodrum dates back to the 4th century BC, during the reign of King Mausolos. This remarkably well-preserved structure once hosted thousands of spectators — and it still does today.

Blending ancient history with unforgettable views, the amphitheater offers a timeless setting for concerts, performances, and quiet reflection. Stand where ancient crowds once cheered — and feel the past come alive beneath your feet.

Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology: Dive into History Without Getting Wet

Housed inside the stunning Bodrum Castle, this world-renowned museum is not your typical history exhibit. The Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology showcases rare shipwrecks, ancient treasures, and mysterious artifacts recovered from the depths of the Aegean Sea.

From Bronze Age cargo to the famous Uluburun Shipwreck, each gallery tells a story buried beneath the waves for centuries. A must-visit for history lovers, treasure hunters, and curious minds alike — it's where the secrets of the sea rise to the surface.

Stop 6

Handwoven Turkish Carpets: Threads of Tradition and Culture

Handwoven Turkish carpets are much more than decorative rugs — they are vibrant storytellers of Anatolian heritage. Each carpet is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, using age-old techniques passed down through generations.

Rich in symbolism, the intricate patterns and vivid colors reflect regional identities, beliefs, and life experiences. From the geometric motifs of Central Anatolia to the floral designs of the Aegean, every carpet weaves a unique cultural narrative.

Owning a handwoven Turkish carpet means bringing home a piece of history, artistry, and timeless tradition — a true treasure of Turkey’s cultural soul.
