3. Suhut Ataturk Evi
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
Hacıvelioglu Mansion was built in 1897. Its importance today mainly comes from its role in the War of Independence. It was used as a military headquarter by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk during the Independence War. Ataturk stayed in this house for a night and marched to Kocatepe that is 20 km to the west of Suhut where the Turkish army started large-scale attacks against the Greek forces.

This place is huge so be prepared for a long but interesting walk throughout the Turkish naval history and heritage. Those interested in ottoman navy, naval uniforms, Ataturk & his love for sea and history of scuba diving equipment should check this place out.

We had less than an hour to explore, having arrived late in the day but it was still very good. The ticket price was only 12TL, for that you get a small tour on a naval vessel, access to a gallery inside the fortress as well as a multitude of outdoor exhibits of weapons. We could have easily spent 2 hours here. The only minor criticism I could make was that many of the exhibits only have Turkish language information. I would have liked to have seen more exhibit descriptions in English.

Awesome experience of viewing history military campaigns encompassing conquest of Constantinople (present Istanbul) by the Muslims, the military campaign by Kamal Ata Turk for revival of Turkey after the WW-I, and then listen to the gallant tunes of the Mehtar Band along with the performance. An experience worth watching and remembering!!
8. Red Tower

Reviewed By Jane2003rugby - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom
The Red Tower is located at the end of the harbour, just up from the jetty. The opening hours where 9.00 am - 19.00 pm in the summer. Entrance fee was 7 TL or 10 TL with the Shipyard or 14 TL with Shipyard & Damlatas cave. Four floors to visit, plus the turret with fantastic views at the top. As this is a medieval tower, there are lots of steep ,narrow, steps to climb, so not suitable for people with disabilities, or small children. Displays, models, old photos, on each floor. A must do, is on the second floor, walk out onto the old walls, the only way you can access it, again great views, but a lot of people miss it.

The museum was a delightful discovery in Bodrum. It gives you an oversight of the city's maritime history and the displays of the various boats and ships and the story of the owners through text and historic photographs is fascinating.The museum is located over two floors and easy to navigate and displays are also in English. On the second floor is a huge and amazing displays from seas shells from all over the world. They are all beautifully displayed and the lightning is perfect. Downstairs is the museum shop with a good variety of items. It is near the yacht harbour and not far from the castle. Closed on Mondays.
