Gümüşlük
A quiet fishing village at the western tip of the peninsula, where tables are set almost right at the water's edge. It is Bodrum's most famous spot for a seafood dinner at sunset.
Gümüşlük is built on the ancient city of Myndus and protected as an archaeological site, so it has avoided large-scale development and kept its village character. Fishing boats sit in the bay, and restaurants set their tables right at the water's edge. In the evening, watch the sun set behind Rabbit Island, then order a seafood feast and Turkish meze. The village also has small craft shops, and a classical music festival is held here in summer. It is about 25 km from Bodrum, roughly 40 minutes by minibus.
