The ancient Halicarnassus, Bodrum wraps around two bays divided by a rocky headland crowned by the Castle of St Peter, a 15th-century Crusader fortress that now houses the renowned Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Nearby stand the remains of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — the Myndos Gate and a marble amphitheatre. By day it is whitewashed houses, boutiques, the marina and twin bays of clear water; by night, the legendary Bar Street comes alive with bars, clubs and waterfront restaurants.
