Where to Go in Bodrum?

After a hearty breakfast, you're ready to explore Bodrum. At this time of day, you can visit the ancient city of Myndos in Gümüşlük. The ruins at Myndos, believed to have been founded by the Lelegians, one of the oldest civilizations in Anatolia, are quite impressive. Myndos is a short 24 km drive from the city center. You'll be glad you rented a car when you realize how long the road is from the city center to Myndos.

The ancient city of Uranion in Yalıkavak Geriş Village is another option. Uranion, also belonging to the Lelegians, was built on two hills. On the hill near the shore, you can see the remains of a mausoleum, a bastion, and a water bastion. On the other hill, walls also built by the Lelegians are on display. Traces of Bodrum's deep history await you at these two ancient cities.
