Bodrum Castle, or the Castle of St. Peter, stands grandly in the heart of Bodrum’s harbor. Built in the 15th century by the Knights Hospitaller, it offers sweeping views of the Aegean Sea from its battlements. Inside, the Museum of Underwater Archaeology displays ancient shipwreck relics, glass artifacts, and treasures. Visitors can explore the castle’s towers, dungeons, and courtyards to experience medieval architecture and storied history. After touring the castle, stroll along nearby waterfront cafés or shop in local bazaars. Remember to wear comfortable shoes for climbing stairs and navigating uneven pathways, and consider visiting in early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and midday heat.
