Bodrum, located on the stunning Aegean coast, is one of Turkey’s most popular holiday destinations. Famous for its turquoise waters, world-class marina, nightlife, and ancient monuments, Bodrum offers a perfect mix of culture, relaxation, and adventure. It is also home to the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Once known as Halicarnassus, Bodrum was the capital of the Carian Kingdom. It reached its peak under King Mausolus, whose monumental tomb became one of the Seven Wonders. Later, during the Crusader era, the Knights of St. John constructed Bodrum Castle using stones from the mausoleum. Today, the city blends ancient heritage with modern coastal charm.
