What to expect
Bodrum Castle

Bodrum Castle, one of the city's most recognizable landmarks, was constructed by the Knights of St. John in the early 15th century. Over the centuries, it has remained one of the finest surviving medieval fortresses along the Aegean coast. During the Ottoman era, a mosque was added to the complex, reflecting the region's rich cultural heritage. Inside the castle, visitors can explore distinctive towers named after the French, English, German, and Italian nations, while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Today, beyond its historical military role, Bodrum Castle stands as a powerful symbol of the city's history, culture, and architectural legacy.
Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology

Located within Bodrum Castle, the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology is recognized as one of the world's leading museums dedicated to underwater heritage. Its extensive collections feature remarkable artifacts recovered from ancient shipwrecks discovered in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, offering valuable insights into centuries of maritime history. Some of the museum's highlights include the famous Uluburun Shipwreck, a Late Bronze Age vessel dating to the 14th century BC, an impressive collection of ancient glass recovered from shipwrecks, numerous amphorae, jewelry, and nautical objects, as well as artifacts from Roman and Ottoman-era wrecks.
