Bodrum
(Halikarnassos) was built in the 11th century BC by the
Carians and was later occupied by the Greeks, the Romans
and the Crusaders. Herodotus, the "Father of History"
was born in Bodrum in 454 BC. One of the seven wonders
of the world, the "Mausoleum" of King Mausolos was built
here 2500 years ago.
