Gümüşlük and Myndos Ancient City
Bodrum, Muğla
Ancient Myndos, whose remains stretch toward the shore and Tavşan Adası, and the fishing village of Gümüşlük at the western tip of the Bodrum Peninsula.
Its story
Myndos was a harbor city founded at the western tip of the peninsula in the time of Mausolus and frequently mentioned by ancient authors. Today some of the remains lie underwater in Gümüşlük bay, and some can be seen along the shore and on Tavşan Adası (Rabbit Island). The ancient city's protected-site status has helped preserve Gümüşlük from heavy development. The bay is known as one of Bodrum's quietest corners, with its sunset views and the fishermen on the shore.
