Museum of Underwater Archaeology

The Museum of Underwater Archaeology is housed in Bodrum Castle, also known as the Castle of St. Peter. Open to visitors daily, except on Mondays, the museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission fees are approximately 120 Turkish Lira, though children and students often enjoy discounted rates. The museum features various halls, each dedicated to different archaeological themes, from ancient glass to Bronze Age shipwrecks. Plan to spend at least 1.5 to 2 hours exploring the exhibits and castle grounds.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the castle grounds are expansive, with cobblestone paths and stairs. Don’t forget your camera, as the museum offers panoramic views of Bodrum and the Aegean Sea. While guided tours are not mandatory, they can enhance your experience by providing in-depth insights. The museum is family-friendly, but younger children might need supervision in certain sections.

The museum is located right in the heart of Bodrum, within the castle. If you're staying in central Bodrum, you can easily reach it on foot. For visitors staying further afield, public buses and taxis are convenient options. Bodrum's port and marina area also serve as landmarks to guide you.
