Bodrum

Bodrum is a scenic town whose center is the famed Castle of Saint Peter (built by the Knights of Saint John - The Hospitallers).  Bodrum has much to offer and should be considered as a base to explore the surrounding countryside. 

• In the past, Bodrum was known as Halicarnassus and the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. The tomb was destroyed by a series of violent earthquakes in the distant past.  It is said that its building materials were used to fortify the Castle of St. Peter and the city's defensive walls.
