Bodrum or ancient Halicarnassus is situated on a peninsula facing the island of Kos, and is the hometown of Heredutus, known to some as the "Father of History" but to other as the "Father of Lies" becauese of his fanciful travel accounts. Another label for him might be the "Father of Quotations," due to the plethora of pithy observations of area frequented by recent travel writers.

Bodrum itself is a good starting point for a journey along the Carian coast which offers a panorama of mythology and history, and spectacular scenery outlined by sandy beaches, rocky coves and inlets resembling small fjords
