Rather than get on a bus, I decided to walk
the length of the harbor to the Bodrum Castle, a fortification built in 1402 by the Knights of St John. It has 4 towers built by the English, French, Germans and Italians . In 1523 it was taken over by the Ottoman Empire In the 1960s the castle became the home of the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology  |

I
left the ship and began the long walk along the shore to the castle |

and
forward to the castle |
