About Bodrum
Bodrum, on Turkey's Aegean coast, is a whitewashed harbour town beneath a Crusader castle, with ancient ruins and coves, facing the Greek island of Kos.
Bodrum curves around two bays beneath the Castle of St Peter, a fortress built by the Knights of St John in the fifteenth century and now home to a museum of underwater archaeology. The town stands on the site of ancient Halicarnassus, birthplace of the historian Herodotus, and the remains of the Mausoleum, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, lie in a quiet garden.
