Overview

Step back in time with a fascinating private walking tour of Bodrum, once known as ancient Halicarnassos. This immersive 3-hour experience begins at Bodrum Cruise Port, where your English-speaking local guide will greet you with a warm welcome. From there, your journey through centuries of history begins as you stroll through the car-free streets of the old town.

Your first major stop is the iconic St. Peter’s Castle, a medieval fortress built by the Knights of Rhodes. Here, you’ll also explore the Underwater Archaeology Museum, home to rare shipwrecks, ancient diving gear, amphorae, and maritime artifacts that tell incredible stories of trade and conquest. This site is one of the most important museums of its kind in the world.

From the castle, you’ll enjoy a scenic 15-minute walk along the marina, where you can soak in the views of luxury yachts and the turquoise Aegean Sea. Your next destination is the ancient theatre of Halicarnassos, offering panoramic views of modern Bodrum and a glimpse into the performing arts of classical antiquity.

We’ll then pass by the Mausoleum of Halicarnassos—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although only ruins remain, your guide will bring it to life with captivating stories and visualizations.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share insights not only into ancient history but also about modern Turkish life, culture, and cuisine. Want to stop for tea or a bite? This tour is flexible—breaks can be added at charming local cafés upon request. It’s a perfect mix of education, leisure, and discovery.

This walking-only tour is ideal for cruise guests or short-stay visitors looking to experience the best of Bodrum in just a few hours. Suitable for families, history enthusiasts, or first-time visitors, this private tour can be customized on the spot depending on your pace and interests.
