BODRUM TURKEY: Top 10 UNMISSABLE things to do (MUST WATCH!!!) | Bodrum, Turkey Tour
Today I share with you the Top 10 most amazing places to see and do when you visit Bodrum, Turkey. Bodrum is in the Muğla Province and is known to be the jewel of Türkiye. It is full of amazing ancient history as well as natural beauty. There are many things to do and see in Bodrum, but here are the top ten things that we recommend.
Make sure you turn on your subtitles (CC) if you wish to watch and enjoy this video in the language of your choice.
The Bodrum Windmills are one of the most famous landmarks of the peninsula and they overlook both Bodrum and Gumbet. The windmills date back to the 18th century and were used to grind flour up until the 1970's. Since then, they have been derelict, however, many tourists still hike up to the top to take pictures besides these historic structures. The views of Bodrum from the top are incredible so it's definitely worth either doing a 30 minute uphill walk, or alternatively you can easily take a taxi to the top and then leisurely stroll down taking in all the amazing views.
The Bodrum Marina is probably the most central and popular spot in Bodrum. It is also known to be one of the most prestigious marinas of the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts.You will find many yachts and boats docked here, as well as tour boats. The Marina is the best starting point to explore the old town and it is surrounded by many shops, restaurants and boutique hotels. You will also find the historic Bodrum Castle as you walk along the coast to the end of the marina, and it is the best place to enjoy the sunset each evening.
The Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology can be found within the complex of the Bodrum Castle. This fascinating museum showcases artifacts dating back from 12th century BC to 16th century AD. Most of the artefacts were discovered during underwater excavations from around present day Turkey. It was incredible to see ceramics, intricate jewelry and artifacts from ancient shipwrecks.
The Bodrum Maritime Museum showcases model boats and information on sponge diving which used to take place in Bodrum. However, the most fascinating part of the museum can be found on the upper floor which contains a private collection of thousands of different seashells from all over the world.
There are many bazaars, shops and markets to visit in Bodrum. Here you can find many souvenir shops, restaurants, cafe's, art galleries and boutique hotels. One of the most interesting places we found with the Bodrum Bazaar in the old town was the Bodrum Caravansary style cafe where you can buy drinks such a tea, coffee and juices as well as snacks.
The Bodrum amphitheatre is high up on a hill and from here you can see some of the most amazing views of Bodrum castle and sea. The Theatre at Halicarnassus, also known as Bodrum Antique Theatre, is a 4th-century BC Greco-Roman theatre located in Bodrum, and definitely a site to see.
Bodrum Castle (or known as Bodrum Kalesi locally) is a historical fortification located near the Bodrum Marina. It was built from 1402 onwards by the Knights of St John, however, was later conquered by the glorious Ottoman Empire in 1523. The Bodrum Castle is steeped full of history and definitely not to be missed.
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus or Tomb of Mausolus is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and was a tomb built between 353 and 350 BC in Halicarnassus. Interestingly, the word 'Mausoleum' comes from the name of the King 'Mausolus' who instructed his people to build the largest tomb to commemorate him after his passing. At the time of being built, it was indeed the largest such structure to be built as a tomb, and today you can visit this ancient site to see the remains of the tomb as well as see images of what it would have looked like in the past.
