Gumusluk Guide

Bodrum Gumusluk, which has the appearance of an open-air museum and a natural harbor for boats, is a holiday center located about 20 kilometers from the center of Bodrum. Gumusluk is a holiday resort located at the western end of the Bodrum Peninsula and located among the ruins of the ancient city of Mindos. It is a town with a clear and deep blue sea, a wonderful nature and magnificent historical beauties. Today, under the town of Gümüşlük, there are the ruins of the ancient city of Mindos. Roman and Hellenistic ruins or columns adorn the walls of many houses in the town. The ancient city of Mindos is also known as the sunken city. Gümüşlük is about 20 or 25 minutes away from the center of Bodrum. Today Gümüşlük is under protection as a protected area. You can reach Rabbit Island from Gümüşlük by stepping on the stones in the sea or, let's say, walking over the sea. The stones you step on are the stones of the sunken city, the place known as the historical King's road. The natural beach and sea on the south-facing part of Rabbit Island is a place of great beauty. Apart from Rabbit Island, there are many small and big islands in Gümüşlük. The island known as Çavuş Yaşar Island is a natural habitat for seals.The whitewashed houses with blue shutters that you see while walking through the streets of Gümüşlük reflect the characteristics of the famous Bodrum houses. Wandering the streets of Gümüşlük and breathing in the smell of the sea and citrus fruits will do you good.
