In the Bodrum peninsula during the 1950s, figs, almonds, tobacco, barley, and wheat were cultivated; today, olive groves and fruit orchards flourish in inland villages like Karabağ and Peksimet. The landscape adorned with olives and citrus fruits reflects the region's agricultural identity. Local producers offer a variety of products including olives, olive oil, dried figs, and almonds. Note: A separate geographical indication registration for 'Bodrum almond' could not be verified; the registered designation belongs to the neighboring Datça almond. Bodrum almonds and figs are presented here as local farm products of the region.

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.
