When to go to Bodrum?
St Peter's Castle stands on its headland between two bays, honey-coloured and full of Aegean underwater finds. Close by lies the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Out along the peninsula, Bitez and Gümbet give you sheltered swimming, gulets at anchor and grilled fish in whitewashed fishing villages.
