Myndos & Rabbit Island
Myndos / Tavşan Adası
A small island at the mouth of Gümüşlük Bay that can be reached on foot along an underwater ancient causeway. Nearby are the remains of Myndos, an ancient Carian city.
Myndos was a port city founded in the Mausolus era. Today most of its walls and harbor breakwaters are underwater or covered by the village. Between the island at the bay's mouth and the shore lies a shallow ancient causeway, with water ranging from knee-deep to waist-deep. You can wade across to the island to walk, look for hares, and enjoy the sea views. Wear non-slip water shoes to walk out there, and do not take risks when the wind is strong or the waves are high. It can be combined with the village of Gümüşlük on the same afternoon.
