- Stratonikeia Ancient City - Stratonikeia, which hosted many civilizations from antiquity to modern times, is a significant archaeological site in Asia Minor with unique characteristics. The city continuously developed during the Classic, Hellenistic, and Roman Imperial periods, gradually becoming a center of trade, art, and culture. Stratonikeia has been known as the city of eternal love and gladiators throughout the ages. It was a center where gladiators were trained, performed demonstrations, and spent their lives after retirement. Sport was clearly important to Stratonikeians, who built what might be the largest gymnasium in antiquity in the 2nd century B.C. just west of the north gate.
- Lagina Antik Kenti - Lagina was connected to the ancient city of Stratonikeia by a sacra via, approximately 8.5 km long and 3-3.5 meters wide. Regular festivities were held every year in Lagina, and grand festivities were held every four years on behalf of Hecate. The festivities were arranged according to certain rules. During the annual festivities, there were “Key Carrying” ceremonies that were held regularly and lasted for a few days. Thus, the ceremonies continued annually in a certain order. In the key-carrying ceremony, a choir of young girls sang hymns, leaving Lagina, reaching Stratonikeia, declaring their devotion to the city, and returning to the sanctuary. After this choir entered the sanctuary, religious ceremonies began. The gates of the temple were opened by the attendant girl carrying the key. Visitors to the sanctuary sat on the steps arranged along the western edge of the sanctuary and watched the ceremony.

Additionally, weaving is a significant aspect of Turkish culture, with roots tracing back to Central Asia. This ancient tradition is still alive in this village today. During the tour, there will be a brief visit to a cooperative where world-renowned Turkish carpets are crafted, offering the chance to learn about the intricate details of this age-old art form.
- Bodrum City - At the end of the private tour, guests will be dropped back at the Bodrum cruise port, Yalıkavak yacht marina, or their hotel in Bodrum, depending on their pick-up location. We hope to welcome them back to Turkey soon for more unforgettable tours.
