Ep. 117 ~ Join us as we sail around the stunning Bodrum Peninsula, anchoring in the picturesque bay of Torba. From there, we hop on a traditional dolmuş (minibus) and make our way into the heart of Bodrum City, a place brimming with history, culture, and excitement.
Our first stop is the awe-inspiring Bodrum Castle, also known as the Castle of St. Peter. This medieval fortress, built by the Knights Hospitaller, offers breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and a fascinating glimpse into the region's storied past.
Next, we visit the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This magnificent tomb, built for Mausolus, a Persian satrap, and his wife Artemisia, is a testament to the grandeur of ancient architecture and artistry.

Today, it's a bustling tourist destination, offering everything from luxurious hotels to charming boutique accommodations. Sailors from around the world are drawn to its crystal-clear waters and idyllic bays, making it a popular stop on any nautical adventure.
