King Mausolos has set the example for monumental tombs: The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. The word "mausoleum" goes back to it. In ancient times, people thought of immortality by not forgetting to obtain. With his grave construction, the king Mausolos succeeded. The word mausoleum is used in dozens of languages. Mausoleum itself has not weathered the past millennia. You are nesting its scant remains in downtown Bodrum.

The second wonder of the ancient world is the Artemis Temple. In his day it was the most magnificent sanctuary in the world. People from all countries came to Ephesus to see it. This has not changed two thousand years after its construction. Ephesus is still one of the most visited attractions in Turkey. Every day at the port of Kusadasi cruise ships with thousands of visitors arrive. Your destination is Ephesus with its Artemis Temple, the Celsus Library and the gigantic theater.
