Such trip will open you the door not only to another country but also in another continent. The first image of the port with the white houses built amphitheatrically, dozens of sailboats and yachts, plus one of the most imposing castles in the world compose your first impression. After ID or passport control at the customs, a tour guide will guide you through the history of the Castle and the ancient Greek city of Halicarnassus. A city tour includes an introduction to significant sights, such as the Windmills and the ancient Greek Amphitheater of 13000 seats, an introduction to local cuisine and traditional local products and if you like shopping, there will be a shortstop for that, too. The tour lasts for about an hour, is in English, free of charge, not compulsory and does not include admission in any of the archaeological sites. After the tour, you are free to get to know the city, as you choose, until departure time (about 15.30). The Castle is worth visiting . Also do not miss any of the four Castle Towers, each has something unique to offer you apart from the magnificent view. If you like walking, a really big bazaar awaits you. You can find anything imaginable there, from all kinds of souvenirs, folk art and crafts to clothing and food. Experience intense scents and images at the stalls with flavourings and spices.
