A day in Bodrum
A walk in the footsteps of ancient Halicarnassus, from the ancient theater overlooking the bay and the Mausoleum, counted among the Seven Wonders, to the Myndos Gate at the western entrance of the walls, to Bardakçı Bay, where you can swim right in town, and to the windmills on the ridge for sunset.
