When
this city was known as Halicarnasssus, the Greek poet Homer called it “the Land
of the Eternal Blue.” It was the location of a mausoleum which was so
impressive that it became so impressive that it became known as one of the
seven wonders of the ancient world. After the empire declined, a band of
crusaders called the Knights Hospitallar built what they called the Castle of
St Peter here, and those fortifications endured for centuries. Today, Bodrum is one of the most popular
resort towns on the Mediterranean, especially with visitors from around Europe.
There is the Museum of Underwater Archeology in Bodrum, which houses the
remains of ancient shipwrecks.
