Bodrum Day 07

View from the house over the Greek island Kalymnos.









In Gumusluk.









Gumusluk used to be the city of Myndos during the ancient greek times. So you can find a lot of ancient ruins around :

Day One : Beach and Rabbit

On the way to the beach we met some friends, Zeynep and Firat so we spend the day together.









































A few thousand years ago, Gümüşlük was known as Myndos, a ancient Greek city. You can still clearly see some remains of the foundations of buildings in the knee deep water that leads to Rabbit Island.


























The island offers a panoramic view of Gümüşlük cove and beach












You can see the ancient royal road under the water.

Day One : To the Beach

We decided to walk to the beach which is at about 2.5 km (1.5 miles) and passed by this interesting car




















After leaving the road to use a shortcut we passed by the remains of this old farmer's (or shepherd) house where you can notice that he used the remains of some ancient Greek ruins to build his house.





















Here is a Greek swastika.






















Gümüşlük














The Rabbit Island is Gümüşlük's trade mark. You can go there by foot and you can find some rabbits on it but it gets its name because of his supposedly rabbit shape. Real rabbits having been added recently.
