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.
