History and art intertwined Tarih
This theater on the southern slopes of the Goktepe Mountain in the middle of Bodrum is one of the oldest theaters in Anatolia. This theater, which was restored by a group of Turks in the 1960s, is the scene of many festivals in Bodrum. Tourists who come to see the theater, just sit there, watching the boats coming out of the harbor and coming to the harbor, they don't realize how these enjoyable hours pass.
Among the interesting qualities of the theater, we can list the altar of sacrifices for the sake of Dionyus before the games, and perhaps the holes between some of the seats that could have been used as a shade. The theater has a distance of 40 cm between each seat and can accommodate 13,000 people. During a short climb to Göktepe Mountain, you can see grave stones carved from stone. These engraved tombstones from the Roman and Hellenistic ages still carry the symbols of death and various sarcophagi on them (some remains are still exhibited in the castle museum).

The first phase of the restoration of the walls and towers on the north of this gate was completed in 1999.
