About this ebook
Bodrum's castle looks like a simple medieval fortress from the water — until you learn its walls were quite literally built from the recycled stones of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This audiobook takes you through that layering properly: the wonder's scattered ruins and the word it gave the English language, the ancient theater and the Myndos Gate where Alexander the Great's forces fought a genuinely difficult siege, and a traditional wooden gulet sailing you into secluded coves along the coast. Snorkel above the sunken ruins of ancient Myndos in the quiet fishing village of Gümüşlük, watch the sun set from its waterfront, then feel the peninsula shift after dark into the white-walled town's considerable nightlife energy, all beneath the same illuminated castle. Taste your way through fresh Aegean seafood, local olive oil, and honey harvested from hives in the surrounding hills, and travel out to Knidos, where the Aegean and Mediterranean genuinely meet at the peninsula's dramatic tip.
Told in immersive second person, this is a listen made to feel like you're actually there — walking, tasting, and living Bodrum the way its own residents do.
