Myndos Gate

Myndos Gate is one of the most important surviving parts of ancient Halicarnassus, Bodrum’s classical predecessor. Built in the 4th century BCE as part of the city walls, it is best known for its role in Alexander the Great’s siege of the city. Today, visitors can see restored stone towers, sections of fortification, and nearby remains of a defensive moat and tombs. It’s a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in archaeology and ancient history, especially those exploring Bodrum beyond its beaches and marina.
