What to see in Bodrum town center, and is St. Peter's Castle worth visiting?
Based on 3 discussions with 4 participants · Last activity: 4 days ago
TL;DR
Walk through the white Greek-style old town streets and visit St. Peter's Castle (built in the 15th century) which has a museum and peacocks roaming inside — plan around 5 hours for the visit. A boat trip or yacht rental is a good add-on.

In central Bodrum, add the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the ancient amphitheatre; together with the old streets and the castle, the main sights can be covered in one day.

After exiting St. Peter's Castle, turn right into the narrow streets — there are passages leading to seaside cafes with charming little serving windows, though no exact name or address was given.

The town center features white Greek-style streets and the castle itself. For the sea, take a boat trip or rent a yacht; for exploring the bays, book a car excursion through a local guide.
