BODRUM PENINSULA / HALICARNASSUS AND SURROUNDING AREAS / TURKISH

In the Anatolian notebook where the cultures of Asia Minor are written, the Bodrum Peninsula is like a comma placed just before the transition to Europe. Before it is Anatolia, and after it is the culture of Europe. Therefore, the peninsula is a geography where Asian and European cultures are synthesized. Human influence, which started in the earliest stages of history, has lived on these lands almost without a break until today. So much so that the Mausolleion of Halicarnassus, one of the seven monuments in the world that has managed to write its name in the records as “great”, is in these lands. Undoubtedly, this is no coincidence. With its fertile soil, livable nature and location, the Bodrum Peninsula has always deserved to be the center of magnificent monuments and powerful civilizations. Visiting Halicarnassos / Bodrum, the capital of the Carian Civilization, will not be an ordinary tour trip. Traveling in Bodrum stimulates the desire to explore. It keeps the idea of research, questioning and curiosity alive. Halicarnassos / Bodrum, which has many doors opening to the secret room of history, is also the owner of a nature that makes the human heart stir. It is a distinct pleasure to touch the walls of Bodrum Castle, which hangs like an ornament around the peninsula's neck, and to look at the deep blue waters of the Aegean from its bastions. With the book in your hand, we have tried to shed light on the other side of Bodrum, a world-class entertainment center and a holiday destination. Under this light, Bodrum's history and culture are illuminated. History and culture are intertwined with nature and tourism in Bodrum. For this reason, those who come to the city for a vacation will enrich their trip by visiting the Halicarnassos theater, city walls, city gates, monumental tombs, Bodrum Castle, Ottoman monuments; Pedesa, the famous city of the Lelegs on the Bodrum Peninsula, Myndos and many other cultural assets. With maps and plans both at the beginning and at the end, this book offers the ideal itinerary for the traveler, and has been written by a team that sees Bodrum as one of the main hosts of the world's cultural heritage. In plain language, Bodrum's history and cultural heritage is presented to the reader in the form of a story. Both the story and the information in the text are embellished with high quality photographs. We wanted this book to be read in the serenity of the sea in the bays of Bodrum or in the warm breeze blowing with the scent of pine on the foothills. From the museums of Bodrum, Izmir and Istanbul to the British Museum in London and the Altes Museum in Berlin, we shared the mysterious world of Halicarnassos on our pages. It is time to enter the streets of Halicarnassos through the Myndos Gate to travel, see and discover.
