BODRUM
The father of history Heredotus, was born in Halikarnassos (ancient name of Bodrum) in 484 B.C. An impressive Bodrum castle built by the Knights of Rhodes guards the entrance to Bodrum's dazzling blue bay, in which the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas meet.
The town's charm is well-known, attracting a diverse population of vacationers who stroll along its long palm-lined waterfront, while elegant yachts crowd the marina.
