Exploring Bodrum, Turkey: An Ancient City Turned Hotspot For Modern Luxury Buyers

The ancient Greek historian, Herodotus, is attributed with the quote, “The end is not obvious at the beginning.” Known as the “Father of History,” Herodotus was born in the year 484 B.C. in the city of Halicarnassus, or what is now modern-day Bodrum, Turkey.

Were the historian miraculously able to once again visit this dazzling stretch of coastline on the Aegean Sea, he would likely repeat this sentiment. After all, Bodrum’s journey from a Persian capital to a small town of sponge divers to what it is today—a world-renowned luxury destination— could not have been obvious to the famed author of the Histories at the time.
