Bodrum City Guided Tour - Bodrum Castle & Windmills (for Cruise Passengers)

Meet your guide at the cruise port
and see Bodrum's sights in one day

Start the tour by meeting your guide, who holds a sign with your name, at Bodrum Cruise Port. Visit the city's main landmarks one after another with an English-speaking guide, and return to the cruise port at the end of the tour.

Explore Bodrum Castle and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology

The morning begins at Bodrum Castle, one of the well-preserved medieval fortresses of the Mediterranean. Walk through its towers, walls and courtyards while hearing stories of knights and seafaring. Inside the castle, the Museum of Underwater Archaeology displays artifacts from ancient shipwrecks, including amphorae, glassware and a reconstructed merchant ship.

Visit the ancient theater and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

Move on to the Greco-Roman ancient theater overlooking Bodrum Bay. Then visit the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Only its foundations remain today, but your guide explains its historical significance.

Stop at a carpet workshop and the Bodrum windmills

At a local carpet workshop, artisans demonstrate traditional weaving techniques, and you can learn how to tell silk, wool and cotton carpets apart. In the afternoon, stop at the 18th-century stone windmills on the hill between Bodrum and Gümbet to take photos with views of the peninsula.
