ITINERARY

Arrival in Bodrum and assistance. Transfer to the hotel. Hotel accommodation.

Breakfast at the hotel. Visit to the Castle of St. Peter of Halicarnassus, also known as Bodrum Fortress, the symbol of Bodrum. This Crusader castle was built by the Knights of St. John between 1402 and 1409. Today, the castle halls house a museum displaying artifacts from the Bronze Age, Mycenaean, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. The castle also houses Turkey's largest underwater archaeological museum, one of the few of its kind in the world. The museum's shipwreck reconstruction is well worth a visit. After the castle tour, see what remains of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Mausoleum. The Mausoleum, the tomb of King Mausolus, is considered the origin of grand funerary monuments and sumptuous architecture. Today, you can see the cleared platform and some of the artifacts from this magnificent mausoleum. The stones were used in the construction of the castle, and parts of the tomb are on display at the British Museum in London, England. After the tour of the Mausoleum, depart for the Amphitheater. Visit the ancient theater. The theater is located on the hill overlooking Bodrum. Built during the time of Mausolus, it is one of the few surviving pre-Hellenistic theaters in Asia Minor and, therefore, one of the oldest. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

Meals included: Breakfast and dinner 

Breakfast. Departure for Fethiye. Visit to the Lycian rock-cut tombs. The Lycians believed their dead were carried to the afterlife by magical winged creatures and therefore placed their honored dead in geographically high locations, such as cliffs. Many of the numerous entrances, dating from the 4th century, are adorned with tall classical columns and intricate reliefs, somewhat faded due to centuries of wear. The oldest tombs are often nothing more than anonymous holes hewn from the rock.

Let's visit Myra. The ruins of Myra Demre (ancient city of Myra, Turkey) are located 2 km north of the center of Demre, Turkey. Besides a large Roman theater and some of the finest examples of Lycian rock-cut tombs in Myra Demre, most of the ancient city of Myra still lies underground. The main necropolis is located west of the theater, and a second group of tombs in Myra Demre, called the "River Cemetery," is located on the hillside to the right; there you can see the well-known "Painted Tomb." The Church of St. Nicholas is the main attraction of the city.

Transfer to the hotel and accommodation.

Meals included: Breakfast and dinner

Breakfast and departure for Antalya.

Visit Phaselis. Phaselis is not only a historically rich place to visit, but also a beautiful national park to enjoy on a sunny day. In fact, in the Tekirova district of Antalya, the ancient city of Phaselis is a true natural gem, where historical ruins await discovery under the shade of pine trees.

Phaselis was one of the most important cities of the Lycian League. The Roman ruins are well preserved, and the three harbors of the ancient city are used as beaches today.

Then transfer to the hotel and check-in. Dinner at the hotel.

Breakfast. Departure for Perge and Aspendos, two of the main cities of ancient Pamphylia, each boasting a unique theater. The theater at Perge dates back to the 5th century BC and is known for its impressive portico, which was reportedly damaged by an earthquake in 51 AD. Meanwhile, the theater at Aspendos was built during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD) using architectural features and construction techniques rarely seen today. It still stands today as a remarkable example of Roman-era theaters.

The final stop in the city of Side is its ancient town, offering attractions and excursions that you can see for yourself. It was one of the most important trading ports in the Mediterranean for centuries. Its location made it a target for invaders: first the Persians, then Greek colonists, and finally Alexander the Great. As a result of numerous invasions and a series of natural disasters, the city became a deserted territory, leaving only ruins, which are now considered one of its most appealing features. A stroll through the ruins will allow you to see the ancient Temple of Apollo and the Roman public bath, now a museum housing a collection of relics from the city's antiquity. If you are interested in the ancient history of Turkey, the guide will tell you how to get to the ancient town of Side.

Then transfer to the hotel and check-in. Dinner at the hotel.

Meals included: Breakfast and dinner

Manavgat Waterfall is one of Turkey's most popular waterfalls. Located in the charming town of Manavgat in Antalya, it offers a fantastic and fun-filled day out, with spectacular views of the water cascading from a height of approximately 5 meters above the riverbed. You'll also find a variety of authentic cafes, restaurants, picnic areas, and campsites to enjoy. The area is also a perfect option for those looking for something different to do during their leisure time at the hotel.

A visit to the historic center of Antalya. There you will see landmarks such as the Atatürk Monument and Republic Square, the İskele Mosque, the Old Town Marina, Uzun Çarşı Street, the Yivli Minaret Mosque, the Clock Tower, the Attalos II Monument, the Old Bazaar, Hadrian's Gate, and Karaalioglu Park. Transfer to the hotel and overnight stay.
