The famous windmills are the most important symbol and attraction of Bodrum, which you can visit on your own.

It offers a truly stunning view of the two most important bays of the region – Bodrum and Gumbet. This is the best place for a remarkable photo from Bodrum! St. Peter’s Castle, thousands of snow-white houses clinging to the slopes, and the bright blue sea… You will fall in love with this authentic entourage.

At the mills you can enjoy those fantastic views accompanied by Turkish coffee in small family-runned cafe. Or just relax at the grass staring at sunset/sunrise. An iconic place.

Another plus for an independent visit: Windmills can be easily reached by public transport.

The next important Bodrum attraction, which we recommend for an independent visit, is the Myndos Gate.

The ruins of Myndos Gate are located between Bodrum and Gumbet. They served as the main entrance to the ancient Halicarnassus (the ancient name of Bodrum) for several centuries. The gates gained its magical status in 334 BC. Then, after very mysterious negotiations with the queen of Caria, usually incredibly ruthless commander Alexander the Great did not touch a single stone, while entering the proud city through the Myndos Gate.

There are legends in Bodrum about the magic of this gate and the place of power here. Thousands of people pass through the Myndos Gate every year, making their wishes. And again, sight is very easy to get to by public transport! We strongly recommend.

It is simply unacceptable to visit Bodrum and not go on the iconic boat trip “Blue Cruise”!

Blue cruise – is a whole concept! It is a very popular boat trip through the bays of the Aegean Sea, originating here in Bodrum. This activity is rightfully considered one of the main Bodrum attractions.

Every year, millions of tourists fall in love with this route and repeat it year after year. Your very best day at sea is guaranteed. Stops not to miss are the Black Island with thermal baths and the sensationally beautiful Aquarium Bay. An absolute must do in Bodrum.

Visitng many of Bodrum sights on your own is very easy, if you rent a scooter/moped! Rental bike will let you to see with your own eyes the world-famous views of the Bodrum surroundings, which are not accessible by public transport.

Better than a scooter in Bodrum in the summer is only a yacht (see paragraph 3). But if you have already been on a boat trip, then a bike is definitely what you need. You are guaranteed to like moped experience! It will be breezy, budget-friendly, unusually beautiful and just fun!

The bright southern beauty of Bougainville, is the second symbol and landmark of Bodrum after the Windmills.

The people of Bodrum love it and plant it everywhere. We share with you one of the best secret places for atmospheric photos of bougainvilleas in Bodrum. It is the authentic narrow street of Saray Sokak. Paved with stone, with bougainville winding around fences and houses, this street is what you need for great photos as a keepsake of your vacation in Bodrum. Do not say thanks. 🙂

Access is easy from the city center – about a 15-minute walk through the Old Town awaits you.
