Bodrum
Homer's description of
Bodrum as "The land of eternal blue" and the words of another
resident of Bodrum, Cevat Sakir, who said "The heavenly bliss of life in
Bodrum is better than any eternal bliss that may await us" were not
without foundation in reality. Throughout history Bodrum, known as
Halicarnassos in ancient times, has always been fought over and people have
been unwilling to share its beauty with others.
Built on a peninsula formed
by the meeting of the eastern and western harbors, Bodrum, with its narrow
streets winding down to the sea, is famous for its castle, its world-renowned
yachts, its shipyards and the dazzling white houses and tombs lining the shores
of its two harbors.
Bodrum has
all the facilities to meet the expectations of tourists from all income levels
ranging from the rich yacht owners to the penny counting tourists who just want
a reasonable room to make his vacation last all summer
History
Bodrum has been the cradle
of several civilizations. Down through the ages it has suffered from the
countless invasions of those coming from the Aegean islands and has been
important to all those powers wishing to dominate the
Aegean.Halicarnassos(Bodrum) was an important city in the Caria civilization
which was located between its much more powerful neighbors Lykia and Ionia. The
region boasts such greats as the historian Heredotus, history's first woman
admiral Artemisia I, and the just-as-skilled Artemisia II as well as artists
like Leachares and Shepas.
Bodrum experienced the
dominance of various civilizations throughout the history such as
Persians,Mecedonians,Roman Empire and Byzantines. Byzantines lost their power
in Anatolian region after they were defeated by the Seljuk Ruler Alpaslan at
Malazgirt in 1071. Rhodian knights had constructed the present Bodrum
