Rest in Bodrum involves exploring its main attractions - the Myndos gate (the ruins of two of the three parts of the gate have survived to this day; restoration work has been carried out since 1998), the mausoleum of King Mavsol (today tourists can see the foundation and fragments of columns), St. Peter's Castle with a Museum underwater archeology (it is a repository of ancient manuscripts, a collection of early Islamic glass, the gold seal of Nefertiti, and here you can also see the remains of the Uluburun ship raised from the seabed; it is open from Thursday to Sunday).
Where to stay for tourists
Bodrum is a noisy and partying city, so if the purpose of your trip is to spend time with children, it makes sense to look at accommodation facilities in Bitez (in addition to high-quality hotels, it has inexpensive boarding houses, as well as shallow beaches with clear water) or Torbe ("sheltered" in mostly family-oriented 5-star hotels).
If you are interested in Gumbet hotels, they will delight you with all kinds of services and entertainment (swimming pools, water parks, animation).
Do you dream of solitude and tranquility? Find the right hotel in the Torba area. Almost all of them are luxurious "fives" with unusual design and high level of service (take a look at "Rixos Bodrum" or "Club Voyage Torba").
