What to expect

This Bodrum tour delivers a great mix of sights and activities. Highlights include the Gumbet Windmills, Myndos Gate, the ancient theatre – and even leaves time for a gold centre visit and a while to explore the old town at your own pace.

Start things off with a visit to the stately Gumbet windmills, which overlook the bay, before heading on to the Myndos Gate – which dates back to the 4th century BC. The ruins of the gate are all that remains of a wall that once encircled ancient Halicarnassus, as Bodrum was known in ancient times. Next, you'll swing by a jewellery centre for the chance to barter your way to a great deal on gold, silver and more. When the expert jewellers dazzle you with theie items, be sure to haggle for the best price. Or if you'd prefer not to buy, just let them know.

Then you'll have a guided visit to Bodrum's theatre, which is a wonderfully preserved example of an ancient Greek public arena architecture. The rest of this Bodrum city excursion is dedicated to retail therapy, as you hunt for bargains at local leather and Turkish delight shops, before enjoying some free time to explore the city and browse the shops on your own.

    would rather not go to the shopping experience and spend more time in Bodrum exploring the sights ,felt like not enough time to do this ,the owners in the shops which you are taken to seem very pushy at selling you their products ,would rather miss this out if the option was there .why not ask who would like to go shopping or just do sights

    Viewing the historical sites was great but we were only given 15 - 20 minutes at each one. At the ampitheatre, by the time I'd queued up and used the toilet, I had five minutes to get a couple of photos before dashing to the coach. We expected the choppy to be more of a market than a shop where we felt trapped and harrassed by staff there. We spent more time in these places, waiting to get out.

    Collected on time taken to top of hill to some “windmills” left there too long trying to encourage us to spend. Then taken to a jewellery shop where the hard sell was suffocating. You are there for an hour and if you have no interest there’s nothing else to do. I bailed at this point because the threat of the same again with Turkish delight and leather shops had me feeling like a hostage. The sight seeing is a side show to hard sell at any opportunity … absolutely horrendous

    Shopping tour consists of three stops and two of them , the jewellery and leather were nothing more than hard sells , people following you around attempting to sell you goods and not taking no for a answer forcing you to be rude to get them off your back an absolutely terrible experience. Tour guide was ok but the last stop was bodrum and he then announced that the castle was at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours needed and we didn’t have enough time which angered most people as that was the main reason
