The Bodrum Peninsula, stretching from Turkey's southwest coast into the Aegean Sea, is known for its beach towns and resorts, ancient ruins and vibrant nightlife. Its center is Bodrum City, featuring twin bays with views of St. Peter’s Castle, a medieval fortress built partly with stones from the Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.The city was called Halicarnassus of Caria in ancient times and was famous for housing the Mausoleum of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Bodrum Castle, built by the Knights Hospitaller in the 15th century, overlooks the harbour and the marina. The castle grounds include a Museum of Underwater Archaeology and hosts several cultural festivals throughout the year. The city had a population of 36,317 in 2012.
During my Eid Holiday in Bordum i stayed at WOW Bodrum Resort features a free-form pool with a hot tub, a traditional steam bath and spa center offering alternative health and beauty treatments. It is a 5 minute walk from Gumbet beachfront.
