Gümüşlük

This guide to Gümüşlük opens with the fish market ritual that still runs the village: no menus, just haggling over the morning's catch at the water's edge. From there it traces the fishing town back to Myndos, the ancient city the Carian king Mausolus rebuilt here in the fourth century BC using stone linked to his own tomb, and forward to the fleet Julius Caesar's assassin Cassius based in this same harbor. Listen at the shoreline where the old breakwater still lies just beneath the surface.
