This view of St. Peter castle is from the outdoor restaurant at our hotel. You may safely infer that it was a great location.
For some reason, this view reminded me of the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia.
Sunset on our first evening in Bodrum.
Just after sunset.
St. Peter Castle in the early evening
Morning view of Bodrum from the terrace of our hotel.
We ate all of our meals here at the outdoor dining area.
This is a popular harbor.
One of the two large mosques we could see from the hotel.
We will visit the castle later...
We might as well be in Arizona or New Mexico based on this vegetation.
Getting ready to leave on our tour.
As formal as the entrance looks, we found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful.
You don't need to be able to read much Turkish to see that this is a very old Greek theatre. It is right beside the road.
On-going reconstruction
Standing on the procenium (proskēnion) and looking at the steeply angled seating area.
I wonder how different the view was 2000 years ago fromthese seats?
