Bodrum Turkey has more recognized historical and archaeological sites than any
other country in the world. Bodrum's Aegean location offers the opportunity to
see some of the best. From the spectacular ancient city of Ephesus or the unique
Temple of Apollo. Bodrum is the birth place of Heredotus (the "Father of History");
home of Mausolus, entombed in one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; and
visited by Alexander The Great (who enjoyed a lengthy stay), Bodrum is a unique
combination of ancient and modern. Sites not to be missed in include the
Mausoleum and the early fifteenth century Castle of St Peter which also houses a
world famous museum of underwater archaeology. Market day in Bodrum presents an
opportunity to experience a real Turkish bazaar where farmers and tradesmen sell
their goods at amazing prices - worth a visit for the atmosphere alone! Bodrum
is both unique and diverse as a holiday resort, offering on the one hand
watersports, excellent shopping, dining and nightlife, while at the same time
maintaining its cultural and historical heritage. Day or night, Bodrum has it
all!
Yalıkavak Yalikavak provides some of the most amazing scenery on the peninsula.
For many years Yalikavak has been one of the most important centres on the
Turkish Aegean for fishermen and sponge divers. Today, the majority of the local
men still work the sea. Yalikavak remains the same today with the ambiance of a
hard working fishing town with the recent influence of tourism: cafes,
restaurants and bars. The harbor in Yalikavak, with fishing boats unloading
their catch amidst the sleek yachts has a unique atmosphere, industrious,
relaxed and friendly. |
