Our Local Culturel Heritage

The Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology (Bodrum Castle) : Bodrum Castle, also known as the Castle of St. Peter, is a remarkable fortress located in Bodrum, Turkey. Originally constructed in the 15th century by the Knights of St. John, this medieval stronghold boasts massive stone walls, towers, and a moat. After changing hands to the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, it served various purposes, including as a prison. Today, the castle has been transformed into the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology, where visitors can explore a treasure trove of artefacts recovered from shipwrecks in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas. You can accompany this historic castle and its story with a 15-minute scenic coastal walk from our hotel.
