Turgutreis Coastal Road is a well-maintained seaside route designed for leisurely walks and bicycle tours with sea views throughout. The path is lined with palm trees and rest areas; the jetty at dusk is one of the most popular spots to watch the sun sink behind the silhouette of the Greek island of Kos. Atatürk Square, located just inland from the waterfront, offers a lively atmosphere with surrounding shops, cafés, and restaurants, and serves as a venue for local events and festivals. We recommend positioning yourself by the jetty about 45 minutes before sunset to secure a good viewing spot.

Ancient
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.
Ancient
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.
Medieval
Bodrum Castle
Bodrum Castle, built in the 15th century by the Knights of St. John, stands as an important structure elevated with stones taken from the ruins of ancient Halikarnassos. Both a powerful example of medieval defensive architecture and a cultural center that today houses one of the world's most significant underwater archaeology museums, Bodrum Castle is a living testament to centuries of history.
