- Mausoleum of Halicarnassus - Explore the remains of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World with a guided tour of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus in Bodrum. Originally a grand tomb built for Mausolus, a Persian satrap of Caria, this archaeological site provides a captivating insight into the splendor of classical antiquity.
Although much of the original structure was destroyed by earthquakes and later used to construct Bodrum Castle, the site still contains original foundations, columns, and sculptural fragments that suggest its past magnificence. An expert guide will animate history, narrating the story of Mausolus and his wife Artemisia II, who commissioned this architectural marvel in the 4th century BC.
Visitors will learn how this magnificent tomb—rising over 45 meters with tiered platforms and marble reliefs—became the origin of the term “mausoleum” and influenced funerary architecture across cultures.
- Myndos Gate - The Myndos Gate, an integral part of the defensive walls of ancient Halicarnassus (modern-day Bodrum), was commissioned by King Mausolus. In 334 BC, it served as a formidable point of resistance against Alexander the Great during his campaign to seize the city. Today, visitors can still observe the remains of the impressive city walls, the protective moats, and ancient buried tombs. As one of the most extraordinary relics of Bodrum’s rich history, the Myndos Gate is a must-see for history enthusiasts eager to delve into the city’s legendary past.
- Bodrum Amphitheater - Dating back to the 4th century BC, the Bodrum Ancient Theatre is one of the oldest and most remarkable landmarks in the city. Constructed during the reign of King Mausolus of Caria, it exemplifies the distinctive architectural style of the Hellenistic period. With a seating capacity of approximately 13,000, this impressive venue continues to host concerts and cultural events, preserving its legacy. From its terraces, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Bodrum Castle and the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea, creating an unforgettable setting rich in history.
