Gümüşlük
Gümüşlük, a seaside village and fishing port in Bodrum, Muğla Province, southwestern Turkey. Location. In the Aegean Region, it 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. The Municipality of Gümüşlük (Gümüşlük Belediyesi) was established in 1999 and closed in 2015 as the village was incorporated, together with the rest of Bodrum district, to the city of Muğla. Events. Since 2004, the village has played host to the Gümüşlük International Classical Music Festival. This festival is held between July and September and is organized by the Bodrum Classical Music Association. This annual festival is hosted in the Antique Stone Quarries in the  Koyunbaba area of Gümüşlük. King Mausolos collected the stones for both his palace and his Mausoleum from this quarry. Events take place in other parts of the Bodrum Peninsula, including Bodrum Castle. The festival also encompasses an annual masterclass programme ( Gumusluk Music Academy) and since 2012; the Ahmed Adnan Saygun Piano Competition.
