Türkiye's 52nd stop, Bodrum Castle

🌈Attractions: Bodrum Castle is square in shape, with a land area of ​​over 30,000 square feet. The entrance to the scenic area is located on the northwest side of Bodrum Port. Part of the castle is built on the remains of the Mausoleum of Mausolus, so the entire picture display is reserved [Facepalm] The castle's exterior was designed by a German architect. Entering from the castle entrance, you can visit the British Tower, Italian Tower, German Tower, French Tower and Gasser Tower in turn, and enjoy the castle layout of different styles and rich museum exhibits, displaying more than 250 pieces of battle clothes and knight badges. What delighted me most was that many walls still had clear carvings and stone carvings preserved. Climbing up the tallest French tower, you can overlook the whole of Bodrum, see the entire port and the blue Aegean Sea. Walking along the city wall, you can enjoy the sea view and the cascading white Greek wind in the distance, which is beautiful. 🎟️Ticket information: 23 euros/person, the ticket includes Bodrum Castle and Underwater Museum. 🕐️Opening hours of the scenic area: 8:30-17:00 in the morning. If you want to enjoy the sunset at the highest point of Bodrum Castle, it is best to ask about the different clearing times every day. Generally, the shops in the castle are closed at 16:30, and after that, tourists are only allowed to leave but not enter. 💗Other tips: Bodrum Castle was built by the Knights of St. John in 1404. It was originally named St. Bodrum Castle. It took several years to build. It was an important military fortress at the time to protect Christians. It was converted into a mosque in 1522 and then into a prison in 1895.
