Day 1 – Bodrum Arrival & Boarding Dinner Included
Boarding starts at 15:30 from Bodrum Harbour. On the first day, our boat will remain anchored in Bodrum Port for dinner and an overnight stay.
Bodrum has a history that goes back to the 12th century B.C. The city was called 'Halicarnassus' and it was the birthplace of Herodotus, the 'Father of History' who lived in the 5th century B.C. The 'Mausoleum' of King Mausolus (350 B.C.), one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is in this city. The only structure that survived from the Classical Era is the Amphitheatre. It is one of the oldest theatres in Anatolia with a capacity of 13,000 guests and is still hosting many shows and concerts. Another landmark of the city you should visit is the 'Castle of Saint Peter', one of the best-preserved pieces of architecture dating back to the Middle Ages. 'Myndos Gate', through which Alexander the Great entered Halicarnassus, is another place that you should not miss.
