Bodrum tours — castle, bays and gulets
Explore Bodrum Castle and the Underwater Archaeology Museum, then cruise the peninsula on a private gulet or visit Yalikavak and Gumusluk villages. Nightlife and history coexist — we pace tours for families and couples differently.
Peninsula highlights
Torba and Gumbet suit families; Turkbuku and Yalikavak skew upscale. Day trips to Ephesus or Pamukkale are possible with early starts from Bodrum hotels.
Private gulet and boat days
Half-day gulet charters visit hidden coves with swim stops — lunch onboard or at a waterfront restaurant. Full-day routes reach Orak Island or the Gulf of Gokova. We book licensed captains and specify group size in your quote.
Bodrum Castle and underwater museum
The Knights of St. John castle anchors Bodrum harbour — allow two hours with the adjacent museum of Aegean shipwrecks. Morning visits beat cruise-ship day trippers from Kos.
