The peaceful village of Gumusluk is one of the oldest settlements on the Bodrum peninsula. It stands on the site of the ancient Carian city of Myndus whose seafront sections slid into the sea. Today these remains are a magnet for nto snorkellers and underwater photographers. Gumusluk retains a relaxing and magical atmosphere. The wonderful shelter of the bay provides a natural harbour for yachts and local fishing boats for the waterfront fish rerstaurants. A car is recommended to explore the Bodrum peninsula.
