• Stratonikeia Ancient City - Stratonikeia, a site that has hosted numerous civilizations from ancient to modern times, is a prominent archaeological location in Asia Minor with unique features. The city thrived during the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman Imperial periods, evolving into a hub of trade, art, and culture. Known as the city of eternal love and gladiators, it was a center for gladiator training, demonstrations, and retirement. Sports were vital to the Stratonikeians, who constructed what might be the largest gymnasium of antiquity in the 2nd century B.C. just west of the north gate.
• Lagina Antik Kenti - Lagina was linked to the ancient city of Stratonikeia by a sacred road, approximately 8.5 km long and 3-3.5 meters wide. Annual festivities were held in Lagina, with grand celebrations every four years in honor of Hecate. These events followed specific rules. During the annual festivities, “Key Carrying” ceremonies were held regularly over several days. In this ceremony, a choir of young girls sang hymns, traveled from Lagina to Stratonikeia, expressed their devotion, and returned to the sanctuary. After the choir entered the sanctuary, religious ceremonies commenced. The temple gates were opened by the girl carrying the key. Visitors sat on steps along the western edge of the sanctuary to watch the ceremony.

Guests will enjoy lunch in this picturesque village while experiencing the daily life of the locals. Weaving, a significant part of Turkish culture with origins in Central Asia, remains vibrant in this village. During the tour, there will be a brief visit to a cooperative where world-famous Turkish carpets are made, providing an opportunity to learn about this intricate art form.
• Bodrum Amphitheater - The Bodrum Ancient Theatre, one of the city’s oldest monuments, dates back to the 4th century BC and was constructed during the reign of Mausolus, the ruler of Caria. It showcases the typical design of Hellenistic period theatres and could accommodate up to 13,000 spectators. Exceptionally well-preserved, the theatre still hosts concerts and cultural events today. With its breathtaking view of Bodrum Castle and the Aegean Sea, it offers visitors an unforgettable experience.
