Its story

Bargylia lies on the southern shore of the Gulf of Güllük, near the present-day village of Boğaziçi. According to ancient tradition, the city was named in honor of Bargylos, Bellerophon's companion, who was killed by a kick from the winged horse Pegasus. Among the remains are a theater, traces of a stoa and Roman-period buildings. It is a quiet archaeological site overlooking the gulf.
