Ancient Myndos

The pretty little village of Gumusluk on the far west of the Bodrum peninsula, in south west Turkey. Gumusluk is built on the ruins of ancient Myndos, and traces of the old city, including Greek fortifications, Roman mosaics, Roman baths, and a Byzantine church lay scattered across the hillsides. It was in Myndos's natural harbour here that Cassius, one of Julius Caesar’s murderers, sheltered with his fleet. Just like Cassius, we sail in and spend the night here on our gulet cruises that head west of Bodrum. An idyllic spot to spend a night, relax, and soak up the historical atmosphere on our Turkish cultural holidays.
