Gumusluk

Description

Gumusluk, a seaside village and fishing port in Turkey, is situated on the remains of the ancient city of Myndos. The remains of the foundations of buildings can be clearly seen in the knee deep water that leads from the middle of the two bays to Rabbit Island (Tavşan Adası). The hillsides around the Gümüşlük bay area are protected against future developments, which means unlike many other holiday destinations, it has not been over exposed. The island has building fragments scattered around dating back to antiquity and offers a panoramic view of Gümüşlük cove and beach. There is more to Gümüşlük than the small area near Rabbit Island, the actual village stretches further inland. Gümüşlük has numerous established restaurants along the beachfront, many of whom specialise in fresh Fish and Seafood along with meze and Rakı. There are also two village cafés along the beach-front which serve tea and other non-alcoholic beverages as well as light snacks.
