Leisure Activities

Bodrum Theatre

A beautifully restored Roman theatre which is well worth a visit. When it was constructed, in the 4th century, it would have held an incredible 13,000 spectators. There are spectacular views overlooking the surrounding countryside from the top tiers of the theatre. During the summer months, there’s a full programme of events and concerts to experience.

Castle of St Peter

The number one destination for visitors to Bodrum, the Castle of St Peter is set in a spectacular location overlooking the seafront. Constructed between 1402 and 1437 by the Knights Hospitallers of St John, it now houses exhibits of the Museum of Underwater Archaeology and inside there is a Mosque which was built during the Ottoman Empire.

The Old Town

For a taste of the real Turkey, a look at the old town is a must. Situated behind the Castle of St Peter, it’s a labyrinth of narrow pedestrian alleyways with white-washed stone cottages draped in grape vines. There are also plenty of cafes and boutique shops to explore.
