We will be in Bodrum for the first time. Where is it better to book excursions with Russian-speaking guides, and what would be the recommendations, except for Ephesus and a trip to Kos?

Make time for Bodrum itself - there is a chic Castle that houses the Museum of Underwater Archeology ( http://www.bodrum-museum.com), one of the Seven Wonders of the World - the Mausoleum (remains, of course, but nonetheless), a huge amphitheater , mills, etc.

It is best to buy excursions in the city center, just across the road from the central station and the final stop of all Bodrum dolmushes and public transport
In Bodrum itself, you can independently visit
- Bodrum Fortress, it is now partially open after restoration
- one of the 7 wonders of the world Mausoleum in Halicarnassus
- instead of Kos, choose the island of Rhodes is much more interesting, and also in addition to the old city and see the place where there was also one of the wonders of the world, the Colossus of Rhodes
- an extinct volcano in the Akiarlar region
- Myndos Gate and the ancient city of Myndos, the old Greek windmills of Bodrum
- a sea tour of the islands of Bodrum, and the island of Orak where a meteorite once fell and the sea is super turquoise and transparent
- wade across the sea to the rabbit island
- sea excursion with a visit to the Black Island and swimming there in thermal springs
- remains of the Gara church from the Byzantine period in Bitez
- Mustafa Pasha's tower on the rocks in Ortakent

Be sure to take an inexpensive boat trip around the bays. We had the final one - no way Camel Beach, but the rest of the parking lot - fire! It felt like you were swimming in 3 different seas. Species - Alexander Grin! I advise!

On the outskirts of the Turgutreis Kadekalesi area, visit the remains of the historical judge's castle after which the area is named
In the same Kadekalesi there is also a well-preserved Greek church, also of the Byzantine period
You can also instead of Kos, on the island of Symi, which is similar to the Amalfi coast of Italy
In the center of Turgutreis, see art sculptures made from garbage caught in the sea

You can also take a ferry from Bodrum towards Marmaris to Datca, it is also very beautiful and interesting there, clean beaches with clear water, few tourists, the town itself is very interesting. Ferries to and from Datca run 3 times a day.
If you need shopping, then the biggest bazaar in Turgutreis on Saturdays, midtown and oasis shopping centers

Thank you all for the answers, which will be like a guiding star for us. If you can explain about Rhodes, it also attracts me more, but I read that the ferry goes there for 2.5 hours, does it make sense to go one day?

I also wanted to clarify - a sea tour of the islands of Bodrum and the bays, is it the same thing, or is it different?

In Rhodes, I went there from Bodrum for 1 day and overnight.
What you can see in Rhodes if you go in the morning and return in the evening:
the whole old town, the Rhodes Fortress, the Palace of the Grand Masters, the Fort of St. Nicholas, take a walk along the street of the knights, the Sulemaniya Mosque and the palace of Hassan Bey, go through the medieval Liberty Gate to the Mandraki marina and reach the place of one of the 7 wonders of the world, the Colossus of Rhodes and then relax a couple of hours on Elli Beach and, if you wish, eat gyros and Greek salad there. On the same way, return to the port on the way to take a photo and buy souvenirs
In Duty Free in the port of Rhodes, prices will be lower for alcohol and perfumes than, for example, in Duty free in Boryspil
If you go to Rhodes, even in Bodrum, when registering at the ticket office of the port, take a free map of Rhodes, the old town of Rhodes and Symi

The islands and bays of Bodrum are the same excursion, that is, there are different variations depending on the area of sale
There is an option where the Black Island and Orak Island and swimming in the bays are included, there are sea excursions without visiting these islands, for example, all the islands in the Turgutreis and Gumusluk Regions including a visit to the Rabbit Island, there is a visit to the bays in the region of an extinct volcano, these are Aspat and Karanchir beaches, there are a separate sea excursion from a visit to the black island and a stay on the island in order to visit the thermal springs. All the details of which islands and bays and which beaches you will visit need to be specified when buying a sea excursion

If you like wine, I would also recommend the picturesque village of Shirince (near Ephesus). It itself is in the Greek style and is very photogenic, as well as at every step there are wine cellars with tasting and fruit wine (traditional craft). I really love Turkish mulberry and pomegranate wines, so I really enjoyed Shirince.
