White-washed houses, blue bays and a crusader castle.
Bodrum is the Aegean’s most stylish resort, a town of white houses around two bays and a busy marina. The 15th-century Castle of St Peter, built by the Knights Hospitaller, now houses a museum of underwater archaeology.
Nearby, the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus mark one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Each corner of the peninsula has its own character, from family-friendly Bitez and Turgutreis to upmarket Yalıkavak.
