Museum of Underwater Archaeology
Bronze Age shipwrecks, raised from the sea and rebuilt inside the castle.
Not yet checked by the Smileys team β prices and hours may have moved.
Why do it?
One of the most significant collections of ancient shipwreck finds anywhere, including the Uluburun wreck β a Bronze Age trading ship that sank off this coast over three thousand years ago. It sits inside the castle walls, so one ticket covers the pair.
The Smileys Take
The rare museum that earns a second hour. The Uluburun ship went down off this coast carrying copper, glass and ivory more than three thousand years ago, and seeing the hold rebuilt does something no caption manages. Individual halls keep their own hours, so ask what's open when you buy the ticket rather than discovering it at a locked door.
Good to know
- Individual halls keep their own hours; some open only part of the day.

Nothing is scheduled around this in Bodrum yet. When a host plans it, it shows here β the calendar and hangouts are the places to look meanwhile.
