Bedste tid at besøge

Go early morning (8:30-10:00 AM) right when gates open to explore before crowds and midday heat. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable temperatures for climbing the towers.

Budgettips

Entry costs around 15-20 euros (check current rate). The Museum Pass Turkey covers admission if you plan multiple sites. Bring water from outside as prices inside are steep.

Om

Hurtige fakta: Langs Bodrums havnefront ligger denne fæstning fra det 15. århundrede, bygget af Johanniterridderne med sten fra Mausoleet i Halikarnassos, et af oldtidens syv underværker. Dens tårne bærer navnene på fire europæiske nationer, Frankrig, England, Italien og Tyskland, som hver især afspejler deres sponsorers arkitektoniske stil.

Højdepunkter: Besøgende går direkte på antikke græske marmorblokke fra Mausoleet, der er sømløst indlejret i slottsmurene og gangstierne. Inde i Museet for Undervandsarkæologi kan man se lasten fra Uluburun-vraget: en 3.300 år gammel tidskapsel med kobbertakker, kana'anæiske smykker og endda en gylden skarabæ, der tilhørte Egyptens dronning Nefertiti.

Insidertips

Skip the lower courtyard first and head straight up to the French Tower for the best panoramic views of Bodrum Bay and the marina.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes: the stone stairways between towers are steep, uneven, and worn smooth by centuries of footsteps.
The glass floor exhibit in the English Tower lets you see original medieval graffiti carved by knights into the stone beneath your feet.
Visit the castle's resident peacocks near the Italian Tower gardens around late afternoon when they fan their feathers.
