Things to do whilst on holiday in the Aegean Coast
Get a glimpse into fascinating ancient Greek and Roman civilizations at Ephesus, Europe's most complete classical metropolis. When the Romans took over this previously Greek city it became the second biggest and most significant city of Rome. Nowadays on display at this ancient site are the remains of grand Ionian columns, an odeon, aqueducts, baths, and temples alongside other incredible monuments. The Celsus Library is especially magnificent.
The stylish coastal town of Bodrum is one of the most popular destinations in the Aegean area. Its majestic 15th-century Castle of St Peter, built by the Knights of Rhodes, is an incredibly beautiful sight to behold and boasts wonderful views of the harbour over which it towers. Bodrum also showcases the superb ruins of an amphitheater which at the peak of its existence could hold up to 13,000 spectators, and of course the breathtaking ruins of the Halicarnassus Mausoleum, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Yalikavak presents stunning 18th-century stone windmills which lie derelict in a picturesque area of Bodrum surrounded by hills and olive groves and enjoying unobstructed panoramic views.
For a taste of the high life, dine beside the glamorous Bodrum marina, getting an authentic taste of Turkish mezze and fresh seafood with a view of the yachts peacefully drifting by.

Ruins of Ephesus
History enthusiasts are advised not to leave Turkey’s Aegean Coat before discovering the ancient ruins of Ephesus. As visitors peruse the remnants of these important structures and archaeological finds, it’s easy to get a feel for the Roman Empire - the extravagance, the forward-thinking technology, and the day-to-day life of people over many centuries. The public latrines and water aqueducts are just as fascinating as the grand temples.
