Turkish Flag on top of a Carousel“Airstream Voyages: Gümüşlük”

Author:  This article written by Bill and Janet Wickman from Airstream Voyages. They dropped anchor in Gümüşlük, and recount local finds (best baklava) and she reminisces about the changes between the Gümüşlük she knew then, and now.

Excerpt:  “Pronounced “Goumoushlouk” roughly. It’s the ancient city of Myndos, nice place, nice anchorage and despite the rampant tourism on this northern section of the Carian coast, it still retains the atmosphere of a Turkish sea side village. There are a couple small markets and a very nice little bakery right off the wooden town wharf. The bakery has the usual fresh bread and an exceptional assortment of baked goodies including the very best baklava we’ve had this trip, perhaps ever”.  Visit Bill and Janets website to read more

Author:  This article written by Paul Terry, from the Independent Tourist website, who went for a tour around the Peninsula, but got captivated by Gümüşlük, and it stopped him in his tracks.

Author:  Written by Sue at Suemtravels website.

Excerpt:  “Gümüşlük is a Turkish conservation area. Unlike nearby villages of Türkbükü and Turgutreis which are giving way to tourist developments, Gümüşlük has a remote, quiet atmosphere.
