Bodrum sightseeing tours are generally a wonderful combination of the Aegean’s natural beauty and the region’s long and exciting history.
A castle built to control the passage between Asia Minor and Kos Island had to have a clear view of Aegean panorama. Windmills had to be on top of a hill watching both Bodrum and Gumbet Bays to take advantage of the blowing wind. A commercially important harbour had to be protected so Carians had to build a fortress on a small island at ancient Herakleia – todays’ Lake Bafa – when it was a bay embracing the blue Aegean Sea.
The needs of the past had given us many beautiful Bodrum sightseeing alternatives to enjoy today. Exploring these special locations would be a perfect addition to your things to do in Bodrum list to discover the peninsula and Aegean alike.
You can always enjoy Bodrum and its natural beauty by taking a sightseeing tour. However, if you also wish a peek at the region’s rich local culture as well, there are some places to visit where you can observe daily habits of the locals.
