Day 01
Bodrum Highlights and Sunset at Gümüşlük Bay
- Accompanied by your private driver and guide, start your day with a visit to the ancient Theater of Halicarnassus, an age-old structure.
- Continue to Myndos Gate, the only surviving entrance to the ancient city.
- Your next stop is the region's symbol, the historic Windmills, standing proudly on top of a hill overlooking both the islands on the horizon and downtown. This is the best spot to take plenty of photographs.
- To put a checkmark on your bucket list, head to the remains of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
- As you make your way into the old city, stop at Saint Petrium, a medieval fortress built by the Hospitaller Knights of St John.
- This building is also home to Turkey's unique Underwater Archeology Museum, which hosts many ancient shipwrecks and artifacts obtained during the first underwater archaeological excavations in human history.
- A 25-minute drive will take you to Palmarina in Yalıkavak, home to hundreds of mega yachts.
- After taking a walk and window-shopping along its glamorous avenues, the final touch of the day will be watching a sensational sunset in Gümüşlük Bay.
