Bodrum, nestled on the southwestern coast of Turkey, is a picturesque town renowned for its captivating blend of ancient history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant modern culture. Once the site of the ancient city of Halicarnassus, Bodrum seamlessly intertwines its rich past with a contemporary allure. Bodrum also boasts pristine beaches, charming whitewashed buildings adorned with bougainvillea, and a bustling marina teeming with luxury yachts.
Nestled in the heart of Bodrum, the medieval fortress known as Bodrum Castle was erected in 1402 by the Knights of St. John. Originally named St. Peter Castle, according to Bodrum historian Herodotus, life in Bodrum dates back to B.C., beginning with the city founded by the Dorians around 1,000 in the area where the castle stands today. Over time, it has become an iconic symbol of Bodrum. Since 1960, the castle has hosted the "Bodrum Underwater Archaeology Museum," displaying artifacts retrieved from regional shipwrecks, offering an immersive view into the maritime history of the area.

The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, constructed in Halicarnassus by King Mausolos' wife and sister, Artemisia, stands among the Seven Wonders of the World. This expansive tomb, featuring a blend of Greek columns and an Egyptian pyramid-shaped roof, lent its name to all subsequent structures in a similar style, now collectively referred to as mausoleums. Today, the site operates as an open-air museum. Upon entry, a Bodrum-style house greets visitors on the right. The extensive structure on the left showcases reliefs, models, drawings related to the Mausoleum, and architectural elements of the building.

Found on the southern slope of Göktepe, located north of the Ancient City of Halicarnassus, the Bodrum Ancient Theatre served as a necropolis dating back to B.C., functioning as a cemetery. Dating back to the 4th century, it stands as a magnificent building, embodying the characteristics of theaters predating the Roman Imperial Age. The theater comprises seating rows, an orchestra section, and a stage structure. A significant landmark in Bodrum, it traces back to the Hellenistic period. A visit not only offers a glimpse into the ancient past but also an appreciation of the area's architectural brilliance and cultural heritage.

This classic Turkish dish features two main components—a rich, flavorful stew made with braised lamb or beef, and a creamy eggplant puree. The stew slow-cooks lamb or beef with onions, tomatoes, peppers, and various spices until tender. The eggplant puree involves roasting or grilling eggplants, mashing them, and mixing them with a roux-based sauce made from flour, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Served atop the creamy eggplant puree, it creates a delectable and hearty dish known for its rich taste and satisfying texture.
