Today you’ll find that Bodrum is a picturesque yacht harbour filled with traditional wood-varnished sailboats, charming outdoor cafes and streets bursting with small shops selling carpets, leatherwear, jewellery and local artwork.

In antiquity, it was the site of ancient Halicarnassus. Under King Mausolus, the city prospered however in death, the king left the city its most enduring legacy, his majestic tomb from which we derive the term 'mausoleum’. Only its massive foundations remain today but it was the largest tomb ever built by the Greeks and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Alexander the Great attacked the city in 334 BC, levelling all but the Mausoleum which was later destroyed by an earthquake.

When the Knights of St. John lost their castle in Smyrna in 1402, they came here. Finding the mausoleum in ruins, they used the stone to construct the Castle of St. Peter which proudly stood sentinel to the city. Together with their fortifications on Kos and Rhodes, the Knights dominated the southeastern Aegean, running a hospital for passing pilgrims and ruling the seas as privateers in swift vessels. They remained until 1523 when Suleyman the Magnificent conquered Rhodes and the Knights' position became untenable. The castle still dominates the harbour and houses an archeological museum.

Tendered 08:00 - 18:00

Deserted for centuries because of constant raids by pirates and the Turks, this tiny arid island was first settled in 1088 when the Emperor of Constantinople made it a gift to the monk Christodoulos Latrnos so he could establish a monastery in honour of St. John the Divine on the site. Patmos has been a place of scholarship and religious enlightenment ever since. Today this modern pilgrimage site is a quiet respite from the tourist havens many other Greek isles have become.

Please note: This port is accessed by tender boats. Boarding and disembarking tender boats may involve steps and uneven surfaces.
