Review of Antique Theatre of Halicarnassus

Just a gated collection of crumbling stones a decade ago, today, this restored historic amphitheatre takes best advantage of its hilltop position overlooking Bodrum's twin bays with concerts lighting up the marble on summer's eves. The theatre was built by King Mausolus in the 4th century B.C. then enlarged in the 2nd century A.D. under the Romans. Some rock tombs are visible above the theatre, and a little bit of detective work will reveal inscriptions in the seats (believed to be names of those who subsidized the construction of the amphitheatre).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
