Panoramic Bodrum
Get to know Bodrum with this half-day tour. First up is the ancient theatre, which has been standing proud since the 2nd century BC. Set on a hillside overlooking the city, it’s a really impressive sight. It’s made up of three sections – the stage, the orchestra sector and the seating – and it’s still used for concerts and performances today. Next you’ll see what remains of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This huge marble tomb was built for the ruler of the region by his wife, as a tribute to him after he died. It’s said she wanted to build the most lavish tomb in the world in his honour. There's not much left of it today, but the remains give you a good idea of how it looked back in its heyday. The second half of this trip takes you to Bodrum’s windmills. The oldest ones were built in the 18th century to grind flour for the locals. Nowadays, they’re a really popular tourist attraction. After a quick photo stop, you’ll head to the centre of Bodrum where you’ll have some free time to explore the city.

Bodrum Castle & Mausoleum
Take a big leap back in time on this tour of the Bodrum peninsula. From the port, you’ll be driven to all that’s left of the Halicarnassos Mausoleum. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, this shrine was built by Artemis II in honour of her husband, King Mausolos. Next up is the Castle of St Peter. Built in the 1400s by the Knights of St John, it towers over Bodrum serving as a permanent reminder of the town’s Medieval history. After a short boat ride to the base of the castle, you’ll have time to nose around this impressive fortress before enjoying a guided tour of the Museum of Underwater Archaeology tucked inside the castle’s stone walls. There’s quite a bit of walking involved so comfy shoes are a must. After your tour, you’ll have some time to explore Bodrum’s main shopping street before boarding the bus back to the port.
£28.00 / £14.00 (4hrs)

Miletus & Didyma
Travel back in time. Starting at Bodrum port, you’ll travel along the ancient road to Miletus, a sacred pathway once flanked by statues, lions and sphinxes. At Miletus itself, you’ll have plenty of time to explore. It’s steeped in history dating back to 5th-century BC. Wander through the huge vaulted passageways of the Roman theatre and visit the Baths of Faustina. From here we then make our way to Didyma, home to a Temple dedicated to Apollo. This towering structure was once a pilgrimage site for travellers from all over the world looking to consult the fabled oracle. There are quite a few steps here, too, so bring comfy shoes. After your visit, you’ll be driven back to the port.
£30.00 / £15.00 (5.5hrs)

Haman - Turkish Bath
If you’ve had your fill of sightseeing and just want to relax, this trip is perfect. Hammams, or Turkish bathhouses as they’re sometimes called, have been in Bodrum since Medieval times. They’re a bit like saunas, but you get a massage included as well. First you go into a warm room that’s heated by dry air, and then you rinse yourself with cold water to cool down. Next up you’ll be scrubbed clean before being given a soothing massage. If you pay a little extra, you can go all-out with an ultra-indulgent oil massage. This trip gives you an hour and a half in the hammam, so there’s plenty of time to unwind.
£26.00 / £13.00 (2.5hrs)

Village Life
Cruises to Turkey aren’t all about lively beach resorts and big-name cities. Get off the beaten track and you’ll find plenty in the way of great scenery and traditional villages. This tour will take you to one of the villages on the edge of Bodrum, where you’ll get to see a whole different way of life. You’ll visit the local mosque, and take a look at the school and farms. Most of the residents here earn a living through farming or carpet-making, and you’ll get the chance to take a look at some of the carpets made in the village. Later, it’s on to a local coffee house for some refreshments. While you’re refuelling, your guide will give you the lowdown on Turkey’s turbulent past, and tell you a bit about the history of Islam.
£26.00 / £13.00 (4hrs)

Gullet Sailing The Turkish Coast
There’s no better way of getting to know Turkey than by gulet. These twin-masted, timber-lined boats used to carry oranges and lemons around the Aegean. Fast forward to today and they’re a unique way of seeing the sights. You’ll leave from Bodrum, sailing along to the large, hump-backed island of Kara Ada. It’s home to a hot spring, which is rumoured to have special healing powers – Elizabeth Arden is even rumoured to have used some of its mud for her skincare range. You’ll have time for a swim in one of the island’s small bays. Then it’s back onboard the gulet. On your way back to the harbour, you’ll pass through a chain of little coves and islets – so sit back, soak up the sun and enjoy the scenery.
£32.00 / £18.00 (4hrs)

Jeep Safari
Fancy a fast-paced trip around Bodrum’s ancient and undiscovered parts? Then hop on this 4x4 tour. Setting off from the pier, you’ll head across to Camlik village for a real taste of local life and some refreshment. The pace then picks up as your jeep whisks you through the mountains down to Turtle Lake for a paddle in the waters. It’s the final stint that really kick-starts your adrenalin, though. Leaving the well-worn routes behind, you’ll head off on a long off-road adventure through Bodrum’s countryside. You’ll then get a chance to catch your breath again at a coffee house before driving back to the pier.
£45.00 / £30.00 (4.5hrs)
