Bodrum is situated exactly as Halicarnassus was many years ago. The main road runs inland from Bodrum Castle, which is set on a rocky headland between two bays. This main road and the bays on either side form the town centre. Visitors should take a small walk to appreciate the boats in the harbour, the unforgettable smell of the sea, the narrow streets adorned with colourful bougainvillea and the tranquility of the white-washed houses.

The bays around the peninsula, with their multiple shades of blue, will strengthen any affinity with nature. In the town centre, the smell of history pervades the nights full of entertainment.

As you travel around the peninsula, the windmills that you see are the remains of an ancient tradition. Their basic function was to grind the wheat for making daily bread. At the same time they signal the wind situation on the peninsula; a wind that cools even the hottest days in the Mediterranean.

A product that is always associated with Bodrum is the mandarin orange. White houses nestle amongst the green orchards bursting with orange fruit. A feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
