Touring in Bodrum
Bodrum is a whitewashed port town on Turkey's southwestern Aegean coast, built atop the ruins of ancient Halicarnassus. The 15th-century Bodrum Castle, constructed by the Knights Hospitaller, anchors the harbor and houses the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, with shipwreck artifacts dating back to the Bronze Age. Just inland lie the remains of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, alongside a 10,000-seat amphitheater still used for performances today. Beyond the old town, the Bodrum Peninsula's coves, whitewashed villages, and turquoise bays make it one of Turkey's most scenic cruise ports.
A private Bodrum shore excursion lets you set the pace, whether that means an early, crowd-free walk through Bodrum Castle, a private gulet cruise along the coastline, or an afternoon among the boutique wineries and villages of the Bodrum Peninsula. Every private Bodrum tour includes an air-conditioned vehicle with driver and a licensed, English-speaking guide, so you're free to linger at a viewpoint, add a stop, or slow down without losing time. All Bodrum shore excursions include our back-to-ship guarantee, so you can explore with the confidence that you'll make it back to your ship on schedule.
