Excursions:  Even if you come to Turkey mainly for windsurfing there are some places that are well worth visiting to appreciate the historical and cultural treasures of the Aegean.

Some of the most interesting excursions are Ephesus, Pamukkale, Dalyan and Milas.
  • Ephesus:  About 190km from here.  One of the most beautiful antique cities around the world and probably the best preserved one.  You will be visiting a real Greco-Roman city thousands of years old.   Virgin Mary's last home, Selcuk city and it's museum are places to visit very close to Ephesus.ephesus
  • Bafa lake : On the way to Izmir about 90 km from Fener, a national park with beautiful sights and historical remains, examples from the stone age to Byzantine period. All pictures on the right are from Bafa.
  • Pamukkale:  Cotton Castle in Turkish.  Unbelievable scenery of thermal springs and natural pools of warm water surrounded by limestone walls made by nature.  Nearby the antique city of Hierapolis, a very important cultural centre of it's times.
  • Milas:  Only 50km from Bodrum, Milas is a small rural Turkish city with a nice market place, carpet makers villages and a few antique city ruins nearby.   This place will make you discover typical Turkish life and cities and you will enjoy shopping there very much.
  • Bodrum Town:  For the ones who don't like daily excursions Bodrum has it's charms not very far away.   We are here 20 km from the city centre it's very easy to get by coach (dolmus).   The Castle of St Peter is the focal point of Bodrum. It was built by the Crusader Knights of St John.  This is a 500 years old fortress, a very handsome edifice.   You would find one of the most interesting underwater archaeology museum within the castle.   Antique Bodrum was called Halicarnasus and it preserves the ruins of the Mausoleum that was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.   On the main road you will see the antique amphitheatre and the ancient city walls.   In Bodrum marina you will admire the Gulets, wooden sailing boats made only in Bodrum.

You can get to these places by the national coach service but if you would like an organised tour we do have contacts with travel agencies and also we organise self made tours when we have enough participants among our guests.   It's also possible to rent a car; we can have it delivered to your hotel.
