Bodrum can be described as a town of white houses with colorful flowers. It offers a unique
experience for outdoor lovers: swimming in warm waters, sun bathing, yachting, scuba diving,
surfing, good seafood and shopping.
For many people, Bodrum is also the place from which to put out to sea for a week or so on a
“Blue Voyage“. Sailing, sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the many ruins along
the cost combine in an unforgettable vacation.
Bodrum’s interest in Christian history is in link with the Crusaders through the Castle of St.Peter.
In Hellenistic times it was the Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, that attracted
visitors to Halicarnassus, as it was then called.
Today it is the Castle of St. Peter that is the first building in Bodrum that catches the attention
of visitors. This Crusader fortress, perhaps the best preserved of any in Asia, is on a small hill
attached to the mainland by a man-made isthmus. |
