Every bay and hill of Bodrum has a story which comes to our age from hundreds of years ago… Among the many stories about the chevaliers of glorious Bodrum Castle, there are legends and typified stories from Bitez to Çökertme… They travel auricular…

Aspat's most famous story is still in minds by that famous folk song "Here is no Aspat my Halil… it is Bitez shore "… Halil, who mistakenly touches to land at Bitez instead of Aspat, is shot before uniting with his lover, Gülsüm…

Certainly; Aspat’s history goes to 7th century BC… First residents of Aspat are from Leleg Civilization… Aspat hill and its aprons are besides its natural beauty, protects its difference and importance with its historical richness.

We took the road with asking to ourselves how we can positively contribute to this spectacular natural and historical beauty… Will Aspat just be an ordinary beach and hotel image? What will we bring to history

We deemed to start an artistic activity at the peninsula's most beautiful bay, between pasture, grass, palm trees, eucalyptuses and Aspat Mount's aprons appropriate.
