The ruins of the Mausoleum of King Mausolus which was one of the Seven Wonders of the World is in this city, named Halicarnassus in antique times
The next place that you should see when you arrive Bodrum is the landmark of the city 'Castle of Saint Peter' which has a history goes back to the Medieval Century and today it houses the world's largest and first underwater archaeology museum. One that you should not miss; is the 'Myndos Gate' where Alexander the Great had a hard time got into Halicarnassus.

Cabin Charter - general information
All tours which are offered here take place on Standard-Yachts, the traditional Bodrum-built GULET.

Gulet for Cabin Charter on a Blue Cruise

 

All yachts are between 19 - 25 meters length,
these vessels accommodate between 12 and 16 guests in 6 to 8 cabins. The cabins have en-suite WC & handheld showers. (Hot & cold). There is a music set, VHF Radiotelephone and a dinghy on each yacht, but in general no air condition. Crew consists of a captain, cook and a deckshand.
An exact yacht’s name can not be available until 1 or 2 days before departure, as numbers of bookings come in often late. This works well over the years like a cooperative and we advice you to give us your mobile phone that we stay in contact to give you captain's number and boat name.
more details of your boat
The crew aboard our Gulets and yachts often do not have a foreign language mastered, but they almost always know a few ’every-day’ phrases and are able to understand almost all requests.
