Features and Activities
Gumusluk is set amidst tangerine groves and foliage and its shoreline is decked with seafood restaurants. Gumusluk
roughly means a form of "silver". Piri Reis explains how this village got its name in his writings in 1521. He explains
that during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II, flourishing silver mines existed near the town and the city was named after
them. The locals argue that Gumusluk gets its name due to the silvery light emitted by the sea's phosphorescence
at night.
Gumusluk has been the scene of some momentous events in history. When Anthony and Cleopatra set sail for Rome - they
made a stop here. Myndos is where Brutus and his fellow conspirators hatched their plan to murder Julius Caesar and is
also the site Brutus fled to and hid for a time after the assassination. Today, this 5,000-year-old site is an important
part of Turkish tourism. It is totally cosmopolitan and very popular, particularly with British tourists.

Amenities
The history of the town is at least as old as that of Bodrum. Gumusluk is the site of a Lelege town founded 5,000
years ago, and then called Myndos. No excavations have ever been undertaken here, however, records are full of
references to the city. The cove is best-protected natural shelter along a shoreline that is constantly exposed to
the wind. Also, entrance to the cove is concealed by the land in such a away that one can find it only if one knows
exactly where to look. For this reason, Gumusluk is strategically important and part of the military zone today. A
strip of sand encircles the cove. To the right of it is a little island called Tavsan (Rabbit). When the sea is shallow,
you can literally walk to this island via the small causeway of stones that was built in Hellenistic times. While your
little "walk" to the island, make sure to check out the remains of ruins underneath the water.
