Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
The site of the tomb of King Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Little stands today, but the foundations, fragments and models show its scale.

Ancient Theatre of Halicarnassus
A hillside Greek theatre above the town with sweeping views of the castle and bay. Free to enter; it sits by a busy main road, so a taxi up is easiest.
Closed on Mondays.
