| Location: It is located within the borders of Gümüslük in the Bodrum District of Mugla. It is one of the Carian cities referred in the ancient geography [Sahin 2006:171]. |
| Geography and Environment: Myndus is located on the Cape Termerium near Halicarnassus, opposite to the Cape Scandaria of Kos Island as described by Strabo. Gümüslük is a peninsula with a high western promontory, and the narrow strait connecting it with the mainland was separated with a corridor during the earlier periods. The area linking Myndus with Halicarnassus included several fertile and rich valleys, windmills on mutual slopes of these valleys and subordinate settlements [Sahin 2006:171]. |
