One of Anatolia's oldest surviving theatres, built in the 4th century BC under King Mausolus and expanded during the Roman era. Carved directly into the hillside, its stone tiers once accommodated up to 13,000 spectators. The upper rows offer sweeping panoramic views of Bodrum Bay, the marina, and the Castle of St. Peter. The monument is free to explore during the day and still hosts open-air concerts on summer evenings.
