The blue Aegean waters that wash the beaches of the peninsula on which Bodrum is perched lend themselves admirably to a vast range of watersports, from scuba diving to windsurfing and jet skiing. Local operators can be found all over the area renting out equipment, arranging excursions, or offering lessons. Aquatic thrills are also on offer at the town's two waterparks.Those who grow tired of the sand and sea can go hiking, with local walking clubs offering programmes but generally not in the height of the summer season when it is too hot. There are numerous ways to get out of town and explore the enchanting villages, bays, and historic sites. The Castle of St Peter, Bodrum Amphitheatre, and windmills are all popular attractions.Either hire a car, motorbike, or bicycle; take a boat or hydrofoil trip; book an organised excursion; a jeep safari; or simply hop on a dolmus (minibus). An absolute must is a trip to a hammam (Turkish bath), complete with massage. The Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology has won many awards for its fascinating displays, including the famous Uluburun Shipwreck.
