Visit the famous tomb of King Mausolus (after whom tombs are called mausoleums), one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In the harbour, Bodrum Castle, or the medieval castle of St Peter, is a fine example of Crusader architecture. It has been converted into the Museum of Underwater Archaeology with remains dating as far back as the Bronze Age. The museum is open from 8am to noon and 1pm to 5pm daily. Campers and windsurfers enjoy Gumbet and Gumusluk is a pretty village nearby. 

The most popular activities in Bodrum are boating, swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. The up market eateries are on the eastern bay. Wholesome, cheap food is available at street side cafes. Local eateries are also cheap in July and August. The nights are full of blaring music from the discos. The night scene here is notorious.
