Most of the seven wonders of ancient world are just a part of history today, but if you want to see the remains of an impressive one, head to Bodrum. It now belongs to Turkey, but in the past it was known as Halicarnassus where ancient Greeks built the famous Mausoleum of Mausolus. Hotels here are usually populated by those who are interested in ancient history and won't settle with books and documentaries.

Accommodation is inexpensive enough to allow even those who can't afford to spend a lot of money on a hotel room, so the region is swarming with visitors all year long. Conveniently located in the Southern part of Turkey, it is caressed by the sun for most of the year and is an excellent destination for those who want to relax and catch some sun.
