Bodrum

Bodrum, situated on the Aegean coast, is one of the most captivating destinations in the Mediterranean area, combining history, culture and seaside charms. In ancient times, it was an important city called Halicarnassus. It was here that the famous Mausoleum of Halicarnassus which has been counted as one of Seven Wonders World was built. But until today, still a vibrant resort town, keeping its unreconstructed charm.
Bodrum is now a favorite with tourists from all over the world, attracted by the crystal-clear blue waters, white houses and harbors lined with gulets and luxury yachts. Bodrum Castle, standing on the hill behind the town next to a huge bay, was put up by the Knights of St John in 15th century. Today it houses an interesting museum.
In addition to Bodrum's historic sites, the city is famed for its cosmopolitan lifestyle -- a fusion of traditional Turkish warm-heartedness combined with modern chic. Visitors may take a stroll along narrow cobblestoned streets lined with designer shops, partake of seafood fresh to the table and eat outdoors overlooking the sea or witness the life of the town changing dramatically at nightfall under the warm Aegean breezes blowing in from offshore waters.
For those who are looking for some peace and quiet, the nearby bays and islands around Bodrum are ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or platting about in a dingy exploring at one's leisure. Whether it's adventure that you're after, culture or simply a change of scene, this really is an experience not to be forgotten – no matter how old is your insurance policy against wrinkles in the sun!
