The Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum, housed within the historic Bodrum Castle, is regarded as one of the world’s leading underwater museums. Showcasing artifacts recovered from shipwreck excavations in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, the museum offers valuable insights into maritime history. Some of the most remarkable exhibits include the Uluburun Shipwreck—one of the oldest known shipwrecks, dating back to the 14th century BC—the Glass Wrecks Collection, ancient amphorae, maritime-related jewelry and tools, as well as shipwrecks from the Roman and Ottoman eras.
The Bodrum Windmills, one of the iconic landmarks of the city, were constructed in the 18th century and served the region for many years by grinding wheat. Situated on the hills between Bodrum and Gümüşlük, these historic structures offer a captivating panorama—especially during sunset—making them a favorite spot for visitors and photographers alike.
The Myndos Gate, a surviving section of the ancient defensive walls of Halicarnassus (modern-day Bodrum), was constructed during the reign of King Mausolus. It marks one of the key locations where Alexander the Great faced fierce resistance during his attempt to capture the city in 334 BC. Today, visitors can see remnants of the ancient city walls, defensive moats, and buried tomb structures. As one of the most significant historical landmarks reflecting Bodrum’s ancient heritage, the Myndos Gate is a must-visit site for anyone interested in history.
Bodrum Ancient Theatre, one of the oldest monuments in the city, dates back to the 4th century BC and was built during the reign of Mausolus, the ruler of Caria. Reflecting the characteristic design of Hellenistic period theatres, it could seat up to 13,000 spectators. Remarkably well-preserved, the theatre continues to host concerts and cultural events today. With its stunning view overlooking Bodrum Castle and the Aegean Sea, it provides visitors with a truly unforgettable experience.
As part of your tour, you will enjoy a short scenic drive to Karnas Vineyards, where you’ll explore the vineyards that produce Bodrum’s signature wines and taste some of their finest examples. Along the way, you'll be treated to stunning views of nature and the sea, making the journey just as memorable as the destination.
Karnas Vineyards is home to three distinctive wines crafted with a philosophy that combines tradition, sustainability, and minimal intervention. The journey began when the İşmen family, while living in the United States, developed a fascination with Zinfandel during visits to California. This initial curiosity soon transformed into a passionate quest to find the perfect place to bring this dark-skinned grape back to the land where it may have originally taken root.
At the end of your private tour, we will drop you back at the Bodrum cruise port or Yalıkavak yacht marina or your hotel in Bodrum, depending on your pick-up location. We hope to welcome you back to Turkey soon for more unforgettable tours.
