Pick-Up from Bodrum Port

Meet your professional English-speaking guide right at Bodrum Cruise Port. Board your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and begin your scenic journey through Bodrum’s whitewashed streets and turquoise coastline.
Your guide will introduce the city’s rich history, from ancient Halicarnassus, one of the most famous cities of the ancient world, to its transformation into today’s elegant resort town.

Bodrum Castle (Castle of St. Peter) & Museum of Underwater Archaeology

Start your exploration at the magnificent Bodrum Castle, built in the 15th century by the Knights of St. John. This UNESCO-listed fortress offers sweeping views of the harbor and is home to the world-renowned Museum of Underwater Archaeology, showcasing shipwrecks, glassware, and ancient artifacts recovered from the Aegean seabed.

Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (One of the Seven Wonders)

Next, visit the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built in the 4th century BC for King Mausolus, this monumental tomb inspired the word “mausoleum.”
Although only fragments remain today, your guide will describe its grandeur — a blend of Greek, Egyptian, and Lycian architectural styles — that once made it one of the most impressive structures of antiquity.

Ancient Amphitheatre of Bodrum

Continue to the Ancient Amphitheatre, an open-air structure overlooking the glittering Aegean Sea. Dating back to the 4th century BC, it once seated up to 13,000 spectators for plays and gladiator contests.
From here, take in panoramic views of Bodrum town, the harbor, and nearby islands — a perfect photo stop and peaceful reminder of Bodrum’s layered past.

Bodrum Bazaar & Marina District

Conclude your tour in the lively Bodrum Bazaar, where traditional markets blend with chic boutiques and seaside cafés. Browse for local souvenirs, spices, olive oil, handwoven textiles, and Turkish ceramics, or simply enjoy a coffee by the yacht-lined marina.
You’ll have free time to soak in the laid-back coastal ambiance before returning to the port.

Return to Bodrum Port

After a relaxing stroll along the promenade, your guide will ensure a timely return to Bodrum Port so you can rejoin your cruise ship with plenty of time to spare — and lasting memories of Bodrum’s beauty and heritage.
