Bodrum

Bodrum is a city located on the Bodrum Peninsula, which juts into the Aegean Sea from Turkey's southwest coast. Twin bays in the city offer views of Bodrum Castle. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was finished in the fourth century B.C., and some of the stones used to construct this medieval castle were from that structure. Moreover, the city serves as a hub for resorts and coastal communities nearby.
