We decided to go to Bodrum for one reason: to visit as many historical places as possible, because there are a great many of them there, on the coast of the Aegean Sea. The first place we visited was the famous MYNDOS GATE. The gates or gates of Myndos are the only ones that have survived to this day. This is the western entrance from ancient Halicarnassus.
They led to the city of Mindos, now Gumusluk.
The name comes from the word gyumush (silver), because there were silver mines nearby.
