BUT, there is a sphinx wearing a polo and a beard. I'm not lying, check out the photo. Bodrum Castle is the most spectacular landmark of Bodrum, especially if you're staying somewhere that has a view of it. We gazed at it every night and day, and it was great to be able to go to visit it. It's open every day except Monday and costs 25 lira pp (£7pp) for adults. There are a lot of stairs and it can get a bit tiring in the heat - I'm a wimp, ok? It was a great place to wander around and if you follow the two sets of arrows, you'll get the short or long version depending on your stamina. There's a cafe in the castle as well so you can stop for a refreshing drink when it all gets too much. There are lots of displays, as well as the option of an audio tour which I decided not to get this time. There are a lot of displays of items recovered from underwater - vases, jugs, glasses, boat bits, etc. I can't say that this is high on my list of interests, but the castle was good for a visit all the same. There are really great views at the top of the castle and I'd say it's worth the admission fee just for that. There's a gift shop on the way out but it didn't really have any decent "tat" which I was a little disappointed by. I love gift shops! Tip: watch where you're going, otherwise you might fall off a high ledge while not looking. Thankfully I didn't break my ankle.
