The Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you’re going to any resort, I guess the most important thing is the beach. In Turgutreis, each hotel has its own private beach, so you won’t really have any problems. Many of the bars also have private beaches which are very nice, and of course you have public beaches. One thing I didn’t like about public beach is that are some Turkish man likely to stare at girls! Don’t get me wrong, they are not dangerous or anything like that, just can be really boring sometimes.

    St. Peter Castle: Glass items
  • Tip Rating:
  • As you enter there is a video film about the salvage of the ship and the work to put the wreck and glass items together. How much work there must have been!

    There is glass of different colours and you will see plates, cups and bottles. Even if most of the glass was in pieces there were about 80 intact glass vessels including bottles and drinking glasses.

    Above the glass the cargo contained raisins (lower right corner of the picture) and sumac. Dried fruits and sumac were important Syrian exports.

    St. Peter Castle: The Museum of Underwater Archaeology
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Museum of Underwater Archaeology is in the Castle of St Peter (Sen Piyer Kalesi) and has a fine collection of shipwrecks and items from their cargos.
    In the main courtyard there is an exhibition of amphorae from different periods and areas.
    In the chapel you can see artefacts from a 7th century Byzantine shipwreck found near Yassiada. There is also a reconstruction of half the ship, which you can climb.
    In the Uluburun Wreck Hall you can see one of the oldest shipwrecks of the world (14th century BC) and finds from several Bronze Age Ships.
    And then there is the exhibition of the Glass Wreck.

    Entrance fee to the castle is 10 000 000 TL (July 2004).
    To see the exhibition of the Glass Wreck you have to pay another 4 000 000 TL.

    St. Peter Castle: The glass boat
  • Tip Rating:
  • Don’t be stingy but pay the extra entrance fee to see the exhibition of the Glass Wreck. It is very interesting!

    The ship, which was 16 metres long and 5 metres wide with a flat bottom, sank in 1075 (1025) outside Serce Harbour. The ship came from Syria and had a cargo of three tonnes of glass.

    Mausoleum
  • Tip Rating:
  • Not much is left of the Mausoleum of Halikarnassos. This was once one of the Seven Wonders of the World and now there is almost nothing there. It was an enormous tomb built in with marble for the ruler Mausolus (4th century BC). When the crusaders came to Bodrum they used the stones from the Mausoleum as building material for the castle. Some stories say they tore the Mausoleum down, others say earthquakes already had destroyed it. Anyway, the best friezes have been taken from the castle and are now at the British Museum in London.

    Entrance fee is 4 000 000 TL.

    St. Peter Castle: CASTLE OF St PETER
  • Tip Rating:
  • Go to Bodrum and one of the first things that will catch your eye is the castle, you can't miss it, a lot of the building was due to the knights of St John when they reconstructed the castle in the 15th century, they used reclamed materials from a mausoleum near by to build the castle which was once one of the seven wonders of the world. When it was completed the castle was occupied by around 50 knights and 200 soldiers from many european countries who protected Bodrum from attack by the Ottomans. They never did attack the castle, they chose to concentrate on Rhodes instead

    JEEP SAFARI
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is not really Safari like in Kenya but very interesting outing. There are a lot of Land Rovers and with your guide you can see Turkish villages, people, turtle lake, natural parks and beautiful and wild beaches. But the mostly it was fanny with many comic situations. For me it was the best outing in Bodrum.
