Bitez stands out in Bodrum for its exceptionally long coastal walk; the promenade is lined with sweetly scented orange and citrus trees, while mandarin groves surround the path behind. Cafés and fish restaurants dot the shoreline, and the sunset viewed from among the palm trees in late afternoon is among the region's most beloved vistas. The flat, shaded route is perfect for morning and evening walks and photography. The crescent-shaped bay, with its tranquil atmosphere, welcomes families and those seeking rest and relaxation.

Bodrum-Halikarnassos
Bodrum's ancient name is Halikarnassos, one of the most important centers of Carian civilization. It once hosted the Mausoleion, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, and was also the birthplace of Herodotus. Today, this ancient city, still living within modern Bodrum, presents a unique open-air stage of history where past and present intertwine.

Mausoleion
Mausoleion is a monumental tomb built in the 4th century BCE by Artemisia for her husband Mausolos, Satrap of Caria. Recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, this structure stands as one of the most impressive examples of architectural and sculptural artistry in history. Today, the word "mausoleum" itself takes its name from this monument.
