I didn't research Bodrum at all before we arrived, so I was pretty impressed when the tour company…read morerepresentative mentioned one of the seven wonders of the ancient world being in Bodrum. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is well worth a visit if you're in the town, even just to say you've been and check out some rocks. Pretty much it's just a site of rubble, but you can't really complain - it was built in 350 BC. It's really easy to get to if you're in town, perhaps a 10 minute walk from the water taxi drop off. It's a simple site - just pay your 10 lira (£3) entrance fee and head in. The site is all laid out in front of you and it's a nice place for a walk around, you can go down right in to the base of it. There is an exhibition to the side with some explanatory panels and a TV room if you want to watch a presentation about it. There's seats too if you need to take a break (it gets very, very hot in the sun) and a toilet block. My favourite part about this is that the Mausoleum influenced the building of the Shrine of Remembrance in my home town, Melbourne. There's also some of the artwork from the Mausoleum at the British Museum if you fancy seeing more of it!
