📍 Destination Overview
Bodrum, on Turkey's southwestern Aegean coast, is one of the country's most elegant seaside resorts. Its signature is the Castle of St. Peter, a fifteenth-century Crusader fortress built from Mausoleum stones, now a Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Here stood the Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders. White stone houses and bougainvillea walls have earned it 'Santorini of the Aegean'.
