Gumusluk (Goo-moosh-look), is on the opposite side of the Bodrum Peninsula, about 20 minutes by car or local minibus from Bodrum. The village is still a lively fishing port, with more than a dozen fish restaurants along the sea front, displaying a wide variety of locally caught seafood.
Once the ancient city of Myndos, the village is now in a conservation area, so no cars are allowed in the center. The westerly aspect of Gumusluk provides some spectacular sunsets, aperitif in hand listening to the evocative pop-pop sound of the single piston fishing boats chugging their way into the harbor is a pleasure not to be missed.
