GÜMÜŞLÜK: A Peaceful Retreat with a Rich History

Gümüşlük is a tranquil village with a fascinating past, known as the site of the ancient Carian city of Myndus, famously referenced in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Today, this serene spot has become a haven for musicians and artists seeking inspiration, offering a peaceful and rustic ambiance on the Aegean coastline.

Legend has it that Myndus was submerged following an earthquake, and remnants of the ancient city can still be seen below the water’s surface. The historic Rabbit Island, which faces the bay, is currently under archaeological excavation, revealing artefacts that provide valuable insights into Gümüşlük’s storied history.

Building restrictions have preserved Gümüşlük’s natural charm, allowing it to retain the beauty and simplicity of a traditional Turkish village, unmarred by modern developments. The village’s peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect escape for those looking to experience authentic coastal life.

Gümüşlük is easily accessible from Bodrum Airport, with a drive taking approximately one hour via the D330 highway (also known as the Muğla-Bodrum road). Several local transfer services are available, and a dolmuş (shared minibus) operates daily from Bodrum town center, covering the 21 km journey in about 30 minutes.
