The royal path still remains and begins at the Gumusluk embankment in the area of u200bu200bthe Fenerci restaurant, and along this path you can ford the sea to the Rabbit Island.
Later, the king of Halicarnassus Mausolus, in love with his sister Artemisia, wanted to spend time in the most romantic place with the most beautiful sunsets, and this place turned out to be the island of Asar.
Mausolus and Artemisia discovered many rabbits on the island and after that the island became known as the Rabbit Island.
