The Secrets of Bodrum and Ancient Caria is a guidebook devoted to the region of Turkey known as Caria in the past. Nowadays, its major magnet for tourists is a town called Bodrum, a major hub for holidaymakers. In the ancient times, as Halicarnassus, it was home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Mausoleum. However, today, Bodrum's reputation relies on its hotels, restaurants, clubs, and beaches. This book has been written for these inquisitive travellers who intend to look behind this modern façade and discover the rich history of Bodrum and the surrounding area.

The aim of the author was to create a guidebook that will take you on the journey of Caria, inviting you to visit the historical towns, archaeological sites, magnificent castles, and splendid museums of this region. Each chapter focuses on one location, offering not only practical tips for visitors, such as opening hours and ticket prices, but also an in-depth archaeological and historical background as well as detailed descriptions of the buildings and objects to be seen there. The information provided in this book is based on the experiences gathered during many visits to Caria made by the author, whose main intention is to share her love of the absorbing history of Asia Minor and its beautiful sights with wide audiences.

The numerous photographs offer a visual incentive for the exploration of the discussed places. Precise GPS coordinates and QR codes leading to online maps complement the texts. Finally, the map of the whole region and the plan of Bodrum will assist the travellers planning their tour itinerary.

The book is available from Amazon as paperback and as Kindle ebook. Ebook is also available from Google Play Books.
